Tropical Sands
I would not recommend staying here unless you enjoy being treated like an unwanted house guest. We were made to feel uncomfortable and unwelcome multiple times by the two owners. Also, the villa was not clean (mould in kitchen draws and on utensils, dead insects on bed frame, dirty floor). To top ...

The Edgewater Resort & Spa
Ocean view but uncomfortable couch and beds had no bed heads so pillows slipped away. Decor was aged. Staff were friendly though. I thought overpriced for the state of the unit.
