The property is old. It is actually several buildings cobbled together some newer than others but each of them do not conveniently join so it is inconvenient to get around, e.g., going from the tower to the dining room/bar means you have to walk outside and down a hill, to get there. It is on the 1st floor of one of the buildings with many stairs down unless the elevator is working which it was'nt every day. It is extrardinarily expensive for what you get.

The room was very outdated and the bed was very hard and uncomfortable. I expected a more fancy hotel room for my $800 a night. The location is great but the superior room that I paid extra money for was totally not worth it.

Very clean, on the beach, everything is within walking distance. Staff was friendly and helpful. We had a very loud AC unit making a high pitch sound. They switched our room. They were accommodating and made it up somehow. Overall great place for my kids, heated pool, good breakfast.
