clean beach fresh omelets polite staff crowded pool area limited equipment loud music

I found the beach wonderfully clean. It seemed to stretch on forever. the breakfast had many choices. I especially enjoyed the fresh omelets. the staff WAS polite and always eager to assist with any questions i had.

The pool area felt a bit small for the number of guests. It was often crowded. the gym had limited equipment. Some machines were out of order. THE music at the pool bar was too loud at times. I struggled to find a quiet spot.
