Very clean and SPACIOUS, huge balcony, beautiful property. Host was EXTREMELY attentive and responded quickly. Would most definitely give this one a 10 out of 10. Ease of access to the property, wrist bands for amenities, and parking bands is a massive bonus. We walked right in and right out at checkout. Also, the resort workers are also super friendly.
