Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The location is awe-inspiring, being able to go to sleep and wake up to the sound of the waves breaking on the beach was truly magical. The unit was immaculately clean and perfectly positioned to capture the sun for most of the day
Negative: Water pressure not that strong but ok
Summary: We felt like we had discovered the most magical spot in the area. We will be back!
