10/10 Excellent
"Owners were excellent in communication despite a minor mix-up on the part of Hotels.com. Owners more than compensated us for the small inconvenience and were quick to respond to our needs. Room/Apartments were wonderful. Excellent location. Laundry in the apartments was really nice to have. They paid attention to every detail and really felt like they were welcoming us into their home.

"This is a wonderful updated hotel with a pool area complete with swim up bar. Floaty toys for the kids, and a covered open dining area. My favourite was The Wharf inbetween the foyer and the swimming area where you could sit and read or work on your laptop… tropical, natural and peaceful setting great for families."
