    The staff was fantastic!! The room was very cozy and relaxing. Super dog friendly and they go above and beyond welcoming your doggie. The spa was okay, simple and basic. The massage was awesome. The nightly bon fires on the beach were perfect. Sunsets were amazing not only on the beach but from the room as well. This resort is worth every penny, definitely going back.
