Or the pool right outside your apartment for those who want a more secure option. Friendly and extremely helpful staff who go the extra mile to ensure you have a wonderful safe. Brent and Eve are super super lovely. Loved having my name on the door as we entered too. I will definitely be coming back soon"

Although we didn’t take advantage, there was access to all sorts of beach/ocean equipment and the property was within walking distance of several restaurants and bars. We were also grateful for the free WiFi and optional streaming services. "

Sane (manager) was very lovely making sure i was alright etc the other staff gave me a mango on my way out (thankful because i love them). I will be recommending this spot to anyone who's looking for accomm in Raro."
