Pros: - Outstanding staff who were consistently friendly, approachable, and knowledgeable about local attractions and dining options - Excellent complimentary beach equipment including chairs, umbrellas, swimming gear, and towels - Spotless accommodation with reliable heating and cooling Cons: - Intrusive exterior lighting from common areas penetrated our room, making sleep difficult due to brightness levels persisting through the night​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Such a great property! Communication was great leading up to our visit. We arrived a bit later and they had our room info waiting for us with no hassle. The location is awesome…quick left gets you to the beach, quick 2 minute walk gets you to the start of the restaurants and shopping. They have beach towels, chairs, coolers, the works available no charge, and are happy to help you plan tours. The room was a nice size, air conditioning was great, and a nice sized kitchen. There’s a nice small pool, and overall vibe of the place is fantastic. Would highly recommend!
