"Proximity to the beach was fantastic. Literally - a couple of minutes. Bring flip flops to wear in the room. My feet were always dirty and had to wash them before putting on my shoes. The floors didn't look dirty they were white, but my feet turned black from walking around the unit. Only used one of the pools and it was cool, felt refreshing from the heat."
