This was a wonderful spot for a 6-day stay, both as a base from which to explore the island and a place to cozy up in during the winter rainstorms. There actually is a distant water view from the balcony and a great view of the resort gardens. The beach is a short it moderate walk at the far end of the resort. The unit itself has a warm, clean vibe to it with wonderful extra touches including a generous welcome basket. All in all, I was very pleased with my stay, and this was a very solid value for the money. I’d definitely return!
