8.4/10 Very Good! (1,004 reviews)

Rooms are amazing … like little casitas. Fully stocked kitchen with dishes, pans, etc. There is even a washer & dryer … it was perfect. We have stayed here a few times now and will continue to do so. It’s like our home away from home, we love it here. Pool is very well kept and has a very comfortable setup. We were able to park right outside our room, super convenient. Highly recommend staying here 😉A++

Perfect in every way. My husband and I stayed in a townhouse and everything was perfect, it was spacious, clean, had a comfortable bed, nicely decorated, & easy parking. The townhouse had everything you could possibly need, it was well equipped. It's also in walking distance to restaurants & stores.
