I had read the reviews and decided the the poeple the have only ever put in 1 review should be Ignored. We very much loved the place. We were a little perplexed at the fact that the only flag that was ever flown on the beach was the red. We decided to ignore it and had a great time body... More

Set your expectations for a 3 star resort, neither bad nor great - not a bad value. It was a perfect fit for us. We stayed 7 days. We are in our early fifties and came to surf.
