Belle plage de sable blanc et apnée directement de la plage. Nous avons vu des aras rouges juste dans les arbres près de la plage. Une navette peu vous apporte à la plage voisine ou à un restaurant."

"Fantastic room with no noise from air conditioning but nice chilly space to rest in after time out in the hot humid weather. Pools were nice with comfortable seating. If I was going to complain about anything, the pricing in the restaurant was a bit steep - but you are right on the beach. About a 5-7 minute walk to the busy town area which is perfect to keep the space quiet while still being convenient."
