The resort has a beautiful beach location, and the pool area has been nicely updated, making it a great spot for families. However, the noise from construction is a significant downside, and the cleanliness of the rooms leaves much to be desired. While the staff seemed overwhelmed, the overall experience could be improved if the issues were addressed.

I had a mixed experience at the resort. The pool was absolutely stunning and the upgrades made to the property really enhanced my stay. However, I was disappointed by the loud construction noise that interrupted my peace, especially on a Sunday morning. While the location is great for exploring nearby shops and eateries, the construction made getting to the pool a hassle.

I had a wonderful time at the resort right on the beach, with a nice pool area and attentive staff. The cleanliness and recent upgrades made my stay very comfortable. However, I did find the rooms a bit on the small side, which might not be ideal for families. Overall, there were a lot of positives, but some updates could still enhance the experience further.

The resort has some lovely features like clean rooms and beautiful grounds, but it really needs updating. While the pools are a highlight, the cramped units and lack of private outdoor space detracted from the overall experience. Parking was a hassle as well, making it less convenient than expected.

Our stay had its ups and downs. While the pool area was really beautiful and the beach access was a definite plus, we faced quite a bit of noise from ongoing construction that put a damper on our experience. The room cleanliness left something to be desired, highlighting a real need for better housekeeping. Overall, the location was great for accessing local shops and restaurants, but the noise and cleanliness made it less than ideal.
