The hotel is a magical find, with spacious and comfortable rooms that come with a great view and a wonderful, fun bed. The complimentary shuttle to the nearby beach club adds to the value, making it a memorable stay. The only downside is the expensive and slow dining experience if you don't opt for the buffet.
