Beautiful spacious and bright condo, from ground floor we walked right to the pool and across the street to the beach. Kitchen was well equipped, everything we needed to cook. Beach under some erosion mitigation right now so some machinery noise and obstruction of view, hopefully done soon. Great walkways, to lovely bakery and grocery store, restaurants across the street. We would definitely come again!

We stayed standard queen room for one night. The room is very small. The balcony is tiny. The amenity is very basic. The TV is small screen too. no facial tissue no disposable toothbrush. Only one face wash and one body wash but we are two adults. The only good thing is the location. So if you are going to be out all day and only sleep in the room it is fine. Otherwise not recommend.
