Beautiful apartments, great pools and amenities, very relaxing
We had a weekend getaway to celebrate my hubby’s birthday and our wedding anniversary. Though the weather was very warm but we truly enjoyed our stay. It’s very quiet and walkable to some stores. It was a very comfy place to rest and relax. The staff that checked us in was very detailed on every thing that we can have or what we can do during our stay.

One of the roomiest places I've ever stayed, a huge living room, good sized bedroom, and a full kitchen. I was on vacation, so I dined out for every meal, but with the kitchen and barbecue, I could have dined in. The excercise room, pool and spa were also really nice.
