But perhaps more like something in Florida, as these have tiled porches with breeze block. Clean and agreeable but not fancy-schmancy.

We don't do much else. There is nada to do at night, really. That's fine with us because we have worn ourselves out at the beach.

The water is clear and warm and usually really calm. If that is your idea of heaven, and if you are flexible, you might enjoy this. If you like the outdoors, this is pretty great.
