This condo is in a great neighborhood area - not a huge resort. There are many restaurants and shops within walking distance. From the lanai we watched humpback whales tail slapping for an hour one day. Several times we saw turtles right in front of the condo. This is not a good beach for swimming or snorkeling but there are many close by. The beach chairs, towels and umbrella came in really handy several times. The pool area is disappointing but the kids there seemed to enjoy it.
