Room was good but other facilities difficult due to having to use outside stairs and walkways.
Cons:

My wife and I are in our 80s and found it difficult to move around the facility due to stairs and outdoor walkways to move from your room to food service or beach.

The overall experience was fun and relaxing, ease of access to the beach made the trip worthwhile.
Pros:

The room was very spacious. The beds were comfortable. The breakfast was decent, would like to have had some sort of egg, even if it would have been hard boiled. The location to the beach was amazing!!

Cons:

The walkways between the upper floors should have been covered to avoid, at least, getting wet when it rains. The hallways outside of the rooms were stuffy and hot, no air conditioning in them. It would be nice to have a removable shower head for ease of a bath.
