The property and the people running were awesome. The experience was the best. The place had all the amenities it described in the text and the place looked even better in person then seen in the pictures. Tiki bar pool spa area lead right to beach. Love the set up. Take your families there for vacation. Perfect for kids. Take your wife there for the honeymoon. Perfect for that too. The place was beautiful. An experience I’ll never forget!

Our last name was misspelled in their system. So after a 12 hour drive and of course payment we was told it was our problem not theirs. A 20 minute argument later we was given our room and the remainder of our stay was great.
