5/5Amazing and would go back again!
Liked: The close beach and ocean was beautiful. The resort is small and I didn't have to do a lot of walking to get around. The resort was beautiful and the food was very good.
Heads-up for parents: Trying to reserve the hibachi restaurant was tough due to them having limited space.

Watch out: We booked this hotel for our stay at 4 am ( last minute ). We got there in the morning and to be honest I couldn’t even believe that this is one of the Hyatt hotels .
