Wouuu! Tienen todo lo necesario para tener una estancia muy agradable,

Muchísimas gracias al Sr. Scott propietario de la Villa, siempre pendiente con una sola llamada. Estuvimos mi cuñada y yo, eso si pensamos que la Villa es perfecta más como para una pareja y jóvenes. Para nosotras dos. Wouuu!!todas las personas desde los guardias realmente amigables y atentos a ayudarnos, nos sentíamos en casa. Si Dios me lo permite la próxima vez., regresaría ahí mismo pero ahora en compañía de mi esposo, para otra económica, súper tranquila luna de miel.

unforgettable vacation

This was a wnderful vacation site for rest and revitalization from busy work. The environment of the house and the resort complex was impressive. It is a quiet, safe and attentive community. It has the largest swimming pool we have visited and wonderful, scenic beaches just a brief drive away. We especially selected the site because of its pet friendly policy. It is a place we would like to return to.
