Fadoua Y.Family gateway!
We already have been in the GH resort before and we still like it. Very close to the beach we walked for 7-8 minutes This time we tried this condo and we liked it even though it's very basic for family who wants to cook specific items. But it was great we bought some things from Walmart and that did it. The master bedroom is really awesome quite spacious. The back porch is covered so enjoyed late breakfast in the shade! The check in and check out were simple too. Didn't have any issues with this condo at all. We will definitely be back !

"Thank you for your review."
Stacie P.Fantastic place and very family oriented!
The property and townhouse # 160 were wonderful. We had a great time relaxing at the pools, and enjoying the beach with our grand children and great grandchildren. I am looking forward to our next trip. I highly recommend this place. Thank you for providing an excellent area for family vacations. Denise Byrd and Stacie Patterson
