Our beachfront villa was very good. The direct beach access was a HUGE plus, i loved it. The villa had very comfortable beds and fluffy towels replenished daily. Breakfast offered a good selection with tasty options right by the ocean..
The paths were a LITTLE uneven in some areas, just requiring a bit of extra care when walking at night.

The beachfront was a highlight. It's amazing. I liked that the rooms had great air conditioning and good wifi. Daily cleaning with restocked complimentary water was also nice.
Our room was right at the entrance and it was not the best. The wall plugs were in horrible shape. Plugs just fell out. The room was old.
