Terrible Customer Service

My wife and child became very sick and we were unable to travel. We requested to change the dates, which was denied, we then had to cancel and were not refunded any money. We were forced to spend 2,000 on a vacation that we did not take. Terrible customer service experience.

Everything we were looking for and more

The property was exactly how described and we were quite happy about how clean everything was. Just a very short walk and you are on the beach. The amenities were very good, beach chairs, umbrella provided. We would definitely come back and stay again!
