Great resort located on Flamingo Beach. The resort sits off the Pacific Ocean so the water is very beautiful and very rough. The property is beautiful, located in a beautiful small area that has a plaza right across the street and a Marina within walking distance. This is a great location for couples even though the resort is open to families.

We loved this hotel. The staff was efficient and the room was clean. It is ideally situated in front of the beach. Two suggestions to improve this hotel 1) Add a fourth restaurant to diversify the food offering. 2) Add more shaded areas around the pool. We will recommend this hotel to our friends.
