"We had a lovely time here. There were food options and it was great to relax and enjoy the beach and pool. We made reservations for dinner on two different nights, one on the beach and the other at the JFK Steakhouse. We also scheduled a massage and that was much needed. The whole purpose of our trip was to relax and enjoy the beach and pool and that's exactly what we did! Highly recommend!!"
