This is a beautiful setting for a place to stay. We were there in March, so a bit off season and it was quiet and we felt like we had the whole area to ourselves. Beautiful views from the patio overlooking the sea. Very spacious rooms. There is a private gate exiting the property that goes right out on to the lava and a path the sea, which is right there. There is a place that you can get in the sea and swim, right in front o f the apt. There are beach chairs and umbrellas for warmer weather. The town is very quiet in March. We did find it easy to drive to Taomina for more restaurants and shopping and people watching. On our last day, we just sat on the deck, soaking up the sun and quiet before heading back to our home where is it snowing! Would be interesting to see what this area is like in the summer season.
