The villa was wonderful!! It was quite modern with many amenities, including everything needed to cook in the kitchen, plenty of towels for the private pool & bathing, shampoo/conditioner, body wash, washer/dryer, and more. It was close to town & the beach but still felt like you were surrounded by nature. We walked to the beach, restaurants & shopping almost everyday. The owners were very nice and quick to help with anything we needed or wanted. Loved having bracelets as our “key” to get in, they were much easier to keep track of then cards. I would absolutely stay again if I go back to the area :)
