Room was clean and it was a nice space for our family and small dogs. The beach is pet friendly, but no animals are allowed in the pool area. The mattresses are very firm, but we got used to them after a couple nights. There are no seasonings or grilling tools, but the grills are very nice and the covered area is nice at the pool. The beach is a very short walk away so this is also nice. There is a beach wagon provided in the room and several of the bag chairs are provided…not actual beach chairs, but nice to have if you didn’t bring any. There is no umbrella provided. Plenty of space and the pool was great!

This is my second time to stay at Athena Ares and it was great. It's right across the street from the beach and near lots of restaurants and bars. The condo has everything you need and is super comfortable.

Excellent location, well equipped property, great communication from hosts.

We visited for a family gathering for Thanksgiving and found the apartments very well equipped and the beds very comfortable. It was a shame the weather did not allow us to fully enjoy the out door space and pool, but it looked like a great place to spend time outside.

We rented 4 units for ourselves and the families of our three daughters. The condos were well equipped and very convenient to the beach. The pool and patio area were great for getting everyone together for dinner. We would definitely stay here again.
