The place is exactly as described and pictured. Check in was very easy, and the resort staff checked in several times leading up to our stay. January was a great time of year to visit. We were able to see whales and turtles from the balcony. The view was lovely. We loved the pool overlooking the ocean and could get to the beach fairly quickly. There were not many restaurants within walking distance, so I would say a car is necessary here. Overall, we greatly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend!
