Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Request a ground-floor unit if you have heavy luggage or mobility concerns, as there are no elevators.

  • 02

    Plan to buy or bring your own beach gear; the resort does not provide umbrellas or chairs.

  • 03

    Arrive with supplies for the first meal, as there is no restaurant or bar on-site.

  • 04

    Confirm the AC works in your specific unit before settling in, as some units have had cooling issues.
