Beautiful beachfront property and perfect for a mother daughter or girls trip. The layout is great with two pools and a bar, seating area in between and very close to the beach. The beach staff are wonderful, they set up chairs and umbrellas and have food and drink service on the beach. I’ll be back very soon!!
