Reviewer Comments:
We stayed for a week at this great oceanfront villa. The rooms are spread out on three levels, and included a mix of kings and double-queens which made it perfect for our mixed group of couples and singles. While the main villa entrance from the road locks up tight, each room also has its own lock and key for added security since the common areas of the villa are fully accessible (up the staircases) to anyone with access to the hotel; we only had unexpected visits from hummingbirds and maintenance staff, who were very respectful and went about their work swiftly. The kitchen is small, but well-equipped for our needs since we were out and about much of the time and didn't use it for cooking any 'main' meals. The water dispenser with the included/full water jug was a godsend since our group tries to carry refillable bottles and avoid plastic waste. We made great use of the villa's private pool as well as the ample seating/lounging options around the main deck (like an outdoor living room), which were all clean and very well-maintained by the aforementioned staff. It was a very quick/easy climb down/walk over to the huge hotel pool, bars, restaurants and beach. The beach itself was gorgeous, with plenty of loungers and umbrellas on the sand to enjoy the scenery; and beachside service was always friendly and prompt. The water itself was not very swimmable - there's a drop off along the beach with a strong current that would be a challenge to get across unless you're a very experienced/strong swimmer with excellent timing. I'm a strong swimmer, but as the tide came in I didn't want to chance it (especially after a few drinks). However, the beach is lovely for wading/bathing, enjoying the waves, and there are several tide pools/rock formations that are fun to explore. The sand is rocky/rough in some places - most of us enjoyed the natural exfoliation, but if you're sensitive, wear some water shoes and you're all set. An overall excellent stay!
