"We stay at this property twice a year. Excellent, well-maintained property providing exceptional value. The small beach cove provides calm water year-round. The pools are about 4 feet deep and so they heat up nicely on sunny days. Food is wonderful with many choices including 3 buffet restaurants ..."
