Habitaciones con vista espectacular. Limpio, área de alberca y terraza en la parte superior, una ubicación excelente. Nos proporcionaron los telefonos de servicio de tienda y comida a domicilio qué en mi opinión hacen gran diferencia. Joya escondida en un lugar super tranquilo donde te arrullan las olas del mar. En verdad, playa serena.

Eh estado en 2 ocasiones diferentes aquí, y me quedan ganas de regresar y recomendarselo a mi familia, son cuartos con una playa exclusiva, tienen cocineta,baño,agua caliente, un mini refri para guardar cosas pequeñas, tienen varios cuartos y la mayoría tienen más de 2 camas, todas con vista al mar, para ver los amaneceres, tienen servicio de una tienda q lleva las cosas al edificio de un fraccionamiento cercas de allí con un costo mínimo hay q pedir el contacto con la señora Mary quien es la encargada del lugar ella muy amable siempre. En general todo muy bien. La primera vez q fui no tenían Internet ahora ya hay pero no llega la señal a todos los cuartos, todo muy limpio, toallas y sábanas, pase año nuevo y si había unas frazadas igual por el clima no se ocupaba más.

Si el departamento hubiera tenido un frigobar y agua caliente, sería genial. También estaría padre que se realizará limpieza en el área de playa para que todo hubiera estado de 5 estrellas.
