Exactly as stated, you’re just steps away from the water and the sounds of waves and rustling palms will lull you to sleep every night. We saw turtles every time we snorkeled and the beach walk to to Kaya’s grocery was a daily treat. Never used the pool, but why would we with the beautiful beach right there? Originally worried about the size of the space since we are a family of 5...it was perfect. We spent most of our time outside and when we were inside it was cozy and nice. Very relaxing space, and we’d love to come back!
