This resort offers a charming and quiet experience with lovely beach access. The atmosphere is romantic, and the staff is quite friendly and helpful. However, the dining options could use improvement, and the beach may not be suitable for young children due to safety concerns. The rooms, while quaint, might not be ideal for everyone, and the check-in process could take a while.
