Reviews
We had the most wonderful stay at Hakuna Matata! We have a family with 4 little children and 2 dogs, and there was more than enough space for every one to have their own space. I love that it was pet friendly because we hate to leave our fur babies at home. It's proximity to the pool and playground was ideal, and only a short golf cart ride to the beach. The big kitchen was amazing for cooking and dining, and the living room had a large cozy couch big enough for everyone. It was clean and tidy upon our arrival, and had all of the appliances and ammenities we needed during our stay. This is definitely one of our favorite stays and plan to revisit it again soon!
