“This property benefits from its own access to two beaches and its Santa Maria location. The spacious apartments with full kitchens appeal to families wanting self-catered stays, though some areas need refreshing. I see value in the wellness center and varied massage services, but the inconsistent WiFi is a drawback worth noting.”
