The room and host were great. It is a fully equipped kitchen and the decor was nice. We enjoyed our stay. The only reason I gave four stars is because neither of the 2 pools were heated and we didn’t see a hot tub. When it was warm enough the pool was great! You can walk to the beach and it comes out at beach marker 10. Overall it was 4.8 for me!!
