One of a kind property. It was a lovely room on the second floor with the hot-tub for two and the swing and dinette. The shower had great water pressure and monkeys would tap on the windows. The views were amazing. Lots of wildlife to watch all over the property. The food was fabulous. It is a short drive to many attractions and beaches. The pool was perfect.
