We did enjoy our 2 weeks September stay in Ricardo's apartment. The area was not packed with people by this time. Even though we did not meet Ricardo in person he was promptly answering and all the communication was smooth. In the apartment everything was as described. Especially pool area right under our terrase was brilliant - our kid had great time there after coming back from beach. Walking distance to the beach and small grocery stores was fine. I would suggest this place to families.
