The design and décor is a weird, out-of-place Spanish permutation, but the rooms can be a good deal. Get as close to the ocean as you can. Units ending in 19 and 38 have spectacular wrap-around lanais facing the ocean. The rock-enclosed saltwater pool is very picturesque with a great location by the ocean. There’s a small, elevated, sandy sunning area and a clubhouse with BBQs. The price is right for what you get. Readers have pointed out a significant…crawling insect problem from time to time. Rooms vary in décor and many could use updating. Washer/dryer in some (the rest use coin-op laundry). Some rooms have showers with no bathtubs. It’s no palace, but you ain’t paying for a palace. Even though there is an elevator, you may still have stairs to deal with on the way to your unit. There’s a little shopping center right outside the gate which certainly adds points for convenience. 1/1 units are 640–896 sq. ft., 2/2 units are 1,120–1,288 sq. ft. 4- to 10-night minimum.
