The best part of the apartment was the lanai, which was surrounded by foliage, creating an extra, private space. We spent the majority of time on the lanai - very comfortable with a large table and various chairs. The kitchen had all the basics, allowing us to cook full meals, which we ate on the lanai. We loved being on the ground floor because we could easily access the lobby, pools and beach directly from our apartment. The only disappointment was that the shore line was very rocky, making it difficult to play in the ocean beyond a few feet.
