- "Staff is outstanding, location perfect" - "The location was perfect, right on the beach, not at the center of the village, but close enough for a short walk." - "Staff was wonderful and very helpful! They were outgoing and warm. It's a small-ish propery with 7 or 8 cabanas and it feel really welcoming and friendly. It's a compact property however the location (right on the main sidewalk yet away from the noise) was perfect. The beach area was clean and inviting. The pool/bar area was relaxing as well. The breakfast (included) was substantial and it was nice to have other breakfast choices available for room service in the mornings as well. The robes were a nice touch. And the bikes were wonderful for exploring."
