Lots of maintenance needed

A nice house that has fallen into disrepair. No response to maintenance requests, couldn’t take a proper shower in the luxurious bathroom because the shower head blew apart from air & water pressure. Then had no water at all the following day due to a problem in a downstairs unit. This is hardly a resort as they call it. And access to the beach is incorrect and not honored by the management of that property.

Very roomy condo

Loved this place. Very big and roomy. Accommodating management. The giant place was completely empty for the last two weeks of our stay. It’s hidden away from the main road. You would pass it without even noticing it. But when you head down the little dirt road the place pops up with all its majestic vibe. Fun place. I’d stay here again. If you arrive at night to unload , bring a flashlight, there is no lighting in parking lot.

Modern and clean

Was a very modern beautiful condo. The huge bathroom was my favorite part. The water was very hot. A place I could definitely stay longer than 2 nights in. I did think it was closer to the beach tho. We had to drive to a gated area to access the beach as it's protected by the government. No fault to the property owners, just would have liked a bit more clarity on the advertisement as I was excited for a quick beach access which this does not provide. Overall the bed was comfortable and it was a lovely place to stay. Wifi was not reliable but I think this was do to the lightening storm we had the night before.

I had an overall great experience at this place. I enjoyed the modern, spacious place to stay!

I appreciate the accommodations on providing fun activities. The service was great! Quick to respond on anything I needed. The private condo/villa is a perfect stay for anyone looking to stay at place with peace and tranquillity in a secluded area of nature and all its beauty. Great modern design and plenty of room to relax and enjoy the sounds of nature. Clean and safe place to stay!
