Staying here was truly a delightful experience! The rooms felt like a cozy home with stunning views, and the atmosphere was charming and inviting. I enjoyed the convenient access to the beach and the community feel among guests. However, I wish there were more organized dining options and that the pool area could have been a bit quieter during peak hours.
