Villa Montana Beach Resort

Villa Montana Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent
"Very quiet and peaceful. Great housekeeping the one day we requested it. The kitchenette in the 1BR provided great flexibility for us. We enjoy going to the grocery store for picnic food and simple lunch/breakfast. Gym equipment is old but got a great workout, and the on-site restaurant was good. "
