We had a wonderful stay at this property! The beach is perfect and the balcony view is amazing. The condo was spotless and clearly very well cared for. The king bed was super comfortable and the towels were soft. We definitely enjoyed the sauna, steam room, and hot tub during our stay! We will stay here again!

We enjoyed our stay here. The condo was nice enough. The view from the balcony was good, and the location was great. The bed was very comfortable, and it was nice having 2 bathrooms to use. We used both pools every day, and there were never a lot of people in them. The hot tub was nice and hot. I will say the outdoor pool was very cold, but it made the indoor pool feel nice and warm.
