Not fancy, but memorable
Pros:

Location, amenities like the pool and bar, friendly staff, easy to get to the beach and close enough to take breaks throughout the day if needed.

Cons:

The room finish wasn't similar to other resorts, but it was clean, comfy, and it accomplished what I wanted/needed while I was there.
