FABULOUS Stay near the Beach!!!

white sandhelpful teamcomfy room

This place sits so close to the beach, and I appreciated that. The white sand and clear water were BEAUTIFUL. The team were all very helpful and arranged taxis when needed. Our room was comfy, and the gardens with chill-out spots were well-kept.

Stepping just outside the hotel, I was immediately in an area where I felt a bit uncomfortable. Some aggressive vendors approached often. It felt a bit unsafe.
