The property is not new but well kept and clean. There was a lot of personal touch you can find in the room: towels and robes, nice bedding, stocked kitchen, beach accessories. The bar has a nice view and good food and entertainment. Breakfast leaves nothing to talk about, I would recommend to visit Mama G's German bakery a mile down the 41S.
