"Clean bright room. Comfortable bed and pillows. Nice big HD TV. Pool was a perfect temp for hanging out in. Breakfast looked ok, but we prefer hot. The beach is a simple 5 min walk. Check in is a little quirky. You basically chat with a remote agent through a live monitor. Fairly simple, but I could see where older travelers might not like the Max Headrom feel. All in all a very nice place for a couple of days."
