The view from the balcony is exactly like the picture! Very beautiful and relaxing. The unit was wonderful - it was clean with very modern decor, a comfortable bed, and most everything we needed for our 6 day stay. We chose to not rent a car for our stay, and either walk for groceries or Uber to where we wanted to go. We had no issues with access to beach chairs and umbrellas or access to the pool. Just keep in mind that the unit is located in a very large resort, that was quite crowded in February, so patience is sometimes required.
