I had a wonderful stay at this resort. The location was perfect, making it easy to access the beach and local attractions. The accommodations were impressively clean, and I loved the unique cottage-style setup which felt like a home away from home. The pool facilities were fantastic for both kids and adults. However, the check-in experience was slightly frustrating due to a misunderstanding about the pet policy and extra fees. Overall, I found it to be a great value for families looking for a fun getaway.

This resort offers a unique cottage-style experience that felt homey and comfortable. The beds were incredibly cozy, ensuring a restful night. However, I faced an issue with cleanliness, as the room had sand on the floors and in the bed when I arrived. While the pet-friendly policies were a huge plus for me, the lack of proper cleaning upon check-in was a notable downside.
