I'm giving it 4 stars because the housekeeping staff never came to our room to clean (even though they were supposed to send someone every other day) (we stayed 4 days). Great location and the private beach is a plus. Mariah was the best!

Convenient location, clean rooms but expensive, overpriced food and drinks. Private beach was so small and then was taken up by chairs and umbrellas for rent. Had to drive to public beaches to get real beach vibe. Pool was also small.
