We enjoyed our stay. It is walking distance to the beach. The food in the area is excellent. The people were approachable and friendly. The staff was easily reachable, responsive, and helped us navigate the town. We would definitely stay there again.

Was not expecting how big this place was- a nice surprise! It was great to be able to do laundry too. Very clean, quiet and comfortable. Less than a 10 min walk to 3 nearby beaches. Check in was nice and everyone was super friendly.

Jack, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We stayed in the villas with a private pool and it was absolutely phenomenal. The suite itself is absolutely beautiful, clean and well-maintained and so much space for at least six people, and it was just me and my friend. We are definitely planning our stay back here as the staff was also extremely helpful and kind.
