1. - service is friendly- rooms are wider than what you usually get in the world of 5*- a high class restaurant on the premises (Browns)The Negative- lots of charges: you pay 60usd for your kids to get a 'pass' it barely lets you rent equipment; if you want to participate in any other activity with a beach chap involved, pay again.
