I rented a bungalow. Staff is super friendly no matter their position at the hotel. The room was clean and decorated nicely. This is the first hotel room I’ve been able to set a thermostat and forget it; it was always comfortable. It had a mini fridge and free water bottles. The hotel wasn’t crowded and the adult pool rarely had anyone in it. This is my first stay in a bungalow and second stay this year at the hotel. Even though I spent most of my time on the beach, the bungalows are not only kid free and mostly quiet, they’re steps from the beach. Great for solo travel. Additional shops and restaurants are a short walk down the beach.
