Great value resort

We stayed almost two weeks in the 2 Br Beachfront. The room and facilities were excellent, and the kitchen was greatly appreciated as it allowed us real flexibility in eating options. The beach and grounds are beautifully maintained. The only minor quibble was that the continental breakfast got a bit boring - a bit more variety would be good (eg different kinds of breads, or including muffins occasionally, variation of the spreads provided).
