The location was perfect! The accommodations were very nice; it was perfect for four adults. The communication was consistent and clear on how to check in / check out. It included a full mini kitchen so you have the luxury of bringing in your own snacks, but if you don´t, they have snacks and a refrigerated minibar available. Breakfast was included and delivered at a time

9.8/10 Exceptional! (126 reviews)
Clean and calm but not very big. Only 6 rooms. In it's heyday it was likely epic but it's looking a little more tired these days. Pool is nice to relax by and breakfast is tasty. Staff is kind. Note that the rooms can sleep 3, with a cot in the living room. It's a drive to the beach/town.
