I love this place. I have been here more than five times. The staff is friendly, attentive and makes us feel welcomed throughout our stay every time. We stayed in the family villa right in-front of the beach, which is quite and well equipped. It’s enjoyable on its own. The two things that bother me are the power outages at night and the rocks by the beach. It’s not mostly sand.
