A Romantic Escape

lovely sunsettasty foodgreat grounds
I found the grounds was well kept. Every night, the dinner buffet presented a different style of food. The food variety was good, and I liked its taste. The pool bar also had very tasty food. The beach provided nice sunsets, and it allowed proximity to other beaches when you rent a car.
The reception staff did not extend a warm welcome, and they seemed unaware of the nearest post office. They refused to post my cards, this left me a bit dissapointed.

Good Value Beachfront Stay

I found the location to be excellent, practically on the beach. There was a nice, long stretch of sand for walking. The food options provided a lot to choose from. I particularly enjoyed the BBQ ribs one evening.
The furniture in the room seemed somewhat dated.
