A beautiful resort. Stunning room. Beautiful pebble beach. We only went to the buffet for dinner - not as many options as I would have expected for the price but that might have been because it isn't peak season.

Great stay. You need a car to get around. The place was very clean. You do need to get your own soap and toilet paper which we were not ready for. Had to make a few runs to the grocery story.
