10/10 Exceptional

Everything was good, room is spacious and pool was great! Really enjoy the beach that is just right in front of you. The only thing I suggest for improvement will be the floor of the hotel room can be cleaner, feel like they sweep the floor but did not mop the floor. Overall we still enjoy our stay here!
