The ocean view from the outdoor pool, restaurant, bar, as well as our room, was spectacular. The pool area was lovely with very comfortable lounge chairs. The service was exceptional as the staff went above and beyond our expectations to ensure we had a great experience. Breakfast was delicious, with many options to choose from. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
