Excellent location very close to Playa Ocolat.
First the good;
This villa is located, as advertised, a short 3 minute walk to Playa Ocolat which is a very nice sandy beach with decent snorkeling (visibility not great). Bonus; Father
Rooster restaurant is located on the beach and we went there several times. Very good.
The shared pool was very nice, clean and just the right temp.
Each bedroom has an en-suite and individual air conditioning / ceiling fan.
Amenities included beach towels, beach chairs and boogie boards.
All in all, very good value for the cost.
Slightly negative comments;
The villa was, on the surface, very clean. But we noticed that there was a lot of dust under the bed and chair in our room and obviously hadn't been cleaned in a long time.
The fridge ice maker didn't work but the house manager (Damian) supplied ice in bags while the ice making unit was being repaired.
The safe was locked and we couldn't open it.
The bedroom doors (and dish washer door) screeched loudly when moved so require lubrication.
The location is great for the beach and FR restaurant but there's not much else there. A car or taxi is needed to get to the main town of Playa Coco which is the closest place for groceries, bars and restaurants. Rental cars are expensive so we quickly got the name of an english speaking "pirate" driver who had a newer car and drove us at any time at ~ 20% saving.
All in all I recommend this place.
