Great resort with breakfast included and great location.
Pros:

Great pool, location and breakfast!

Cons:

Rooms were clean, but did notice a fair amount of flys around the resort, especially near to food areas. Air conditioning worked great but was rusted on the bottom with sharp edges underneath that you had to worry about catching your foot on when walking by.
