Studio Villas
Studios are the most point-efficient option. They include a kitchenette with microwave, mini-fridge, and coffee maker - enough for light meals and snacks. Ideal for couples or small families who plan to eat most meals at restaurants or parks.
One-Bedroom Villas
The sweet spot for many families. One-bedrooms include a separate master bedroom, full kitchen with stove and dishwasher, washer/dryer, and living area with sleeper sofa. You get hotel room privacy with the comforts of a small apartment.
Two-Bedroom Villas
Most two-bedroom villas are "lock-off" configurations - a one-bedroom connected to a studio that can be booked separately or together. Perfect for multi-generational trips or families with older children who want their own space.
