Great place to stay if you don't mind the noise
Pros:

Picked this place for it's great location, beach front with sea views however the location proved to be very noisy. The place itself had very good facilities and the apartment had everything we needed. Bed was extremely comfortable and washing machine and dryer were a bonus.

Cons:

Extremely noisy from early to mid morning every day due to work being done along the seafront.

Pros:

It's close to the beach.

Cons:

The room didn't match the description at all. It didnt even look like any of the pics used on the site, I'm pretty sure.
I left after one night, even though I had booked more than a week there.
The room that I booked was supposed to be carpeted according to the description, the room that I got had wood floors. The bed was sliding all over the place with the slightest movement.
Besides that, it was SO UGLY I could barely stand to be in there. A sterile white box, no art, no colour, no patterns, no texture or anything pleasing to the eye whatsoever.
I'm extremely disappointed that I didn't receive any kind of refund from the hotel, they just lied to me and took my money. Over a thousand dollars!!!
Terrible people, a real rip-off job.
