FANTASTIC beachfront location!

beachfront location nice villa separate entrances

The resort location IS AMAZING. I loved the beachfront with lots of loungers available! My villa was a nice size. The living room joined the dining area and mini kitchen. the bathroom was off the bedroom with separate door entrances.

The sea was rough so swimming proved challenging. HIGH winds also affected water activities. I hope for calmer waters next time.

beautiful beach easy distance cramped bathroom stained chairs

The location is on a beautiful beach. It is within easy walking distance to bars and restaurants (i especially appreciated the close proximity to everything).

I found the room a bit underwhelming. The bathroom felt cramped. I could barely move in the shower. The chairs in the room looked stained and worn.
