"Loved our stay! Perfect location — amazing beach just steps away and Hidalgo only a quick walk. Staff was so welcoming. Condo is listed for 6, but 4 people would be more comfortable since there’s only one small bathroom. Bed in master was a bit firm for our taste, but that’s just preference. Would definitely stay again!"
