Everything was great! The hosts greeted us upon check in with a welcome cocktail, gave us some recommendations and showed us where to go. There is an extremely convenient path 3 houses down that brings you to a road that connects you to everything! Easily walkable to all the high-rise hotels, the beach and several great restaurants. The room itself was spacious and comfortable, the A/C worked perfectly when we wanted to escape the heat. The pool was also the perfect temperature to cool off. I would definitely stay here again!
