Everything was increíble just the last dat the pool was closed but that didnt afecto us soo much soo everything was perfect thanks rod & rosa
Super recomendado, segunda vez q nos hospedamos aquí y siempre es perfecto
Our stay was great came so glad we did two months at this nice location.
The only issue was the tarp banging on the roof when the wind blew. The unit was nice and clean and stocked with supplies to get us started. Furniture very comfortable compared to other units we stayed in. Rosa and Rod assisted us promptly with any questions we had.
A very good experience all around
