Sundial Beach Resort & Spa
"Very clean rooms. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook/bake anything. Beautiful views. One downside was the earlier closing hours (7PM for restaurants/services/market/beach chairs). When we visited mid-June, the sunset was not until after 8:30."
