Great place to relax
They stay was as expected, nice, clean, great location. The beach club just changed their policy to 5 entry for adults (and it doesn't count towards food). The pool needs a little bit of freshening up and tile repair but is in pretty goood shape regardless. The hot tub needs to be fixed as well (currently it doesn't get hot but stays pool temp) but it's still a nice place to sit and relax in warm water.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review, James! We’re happy to hear you had a relaxing stay and enjoyed the location and overall experience. Just to clarify, the jacuzzi at the house doesn't have a heater and is designed to function with temperature water, it’s more of a warm soaking tub rather than a traditional hot tub.
We also appreciate your feedback regarding the pool tiles, and we’ll make sure to pass it along to the team for future maintenance improvements.
Hope to welcome you back soon!
