Beautiful place would recommend to anyone to stay here. The room was so clean a very nice kitchen as well and the view of the beach was outstanding. We enjoyed the balcony to just relax from the heat and enjoy our lunch or dinner. We could just walk out and there was the beach this was just what we wanted. Great place will go back!!!
