Paradise Point Resort & Spa
Paradise Point is a very nice, clean, property. The staff are all very helpful. There are lots of things to do on site and the restaurants are excellent. Nice beaches you can walk to and plenty of scenery without ever leaving the resort. Would definitely stay here again.
