A relaxing and enjoyable stay with great service, a clean environment, and a beautiful beach.
Pros:

The hotel itself was very clean and well-maintained, which made our stay even more comfortable. Our room was spacious and tidy.

Cons:

Overall, everything was great, but one small thing we noticed was that toothpaste was not provided. It would be a nice addition to the room amenities for added convenience.

Nice apartments but dared can do with a refresh but good location on the beach
Pros:

The apartments were beachfront which was great a short walk on the beach to various restaurants on the beach. the staff at the restaurant and security were very helpful.

Cons:

My room was filled with cockroaches and the lady at the reception was reluctant to move my room inspite of my complaints and a housekeeping coming and seeing the infestation in the fridge and room she only moved me on my last night.

Cons:

Kitchen, the breakfast was not given.
It should be improved.
