Having a rent car included was amazing! The ground around the villas is beautiful! The pool was clean and so relaxing. Beach access was 5 minute drive! The owners had all of the beach gear you would ever need and well kept too! The furniture was perfect and the kitchen was great. Would stay here again! Loved It!!!

The hotel is located right on the beach, offering beautiful oceanfront views, though it's somewhat isolated, with nowhere within walking distance. The few restaurants on-site were great, although the Italian one required a dress code that I wasn't prepared for. Despite this, my stay was wonderful. The staff were incredibly attentive and quick to meet all of my needs, and the rooms were well-maintained and felt new, adding to the comfort. Overall, it was a perfect place for a quiet beachfront escape.
