Flor the most part it was a good stay, the amenities provided in the room could use some improvement such as the shower
Pros:

The location is perfect, the beach access is so ideal. It was nice and quiet, despite being close to other visitors, it didn’t feel that way at all.

Cons:

The fridge smelt so bad, had to hold my breath ever time I opened it, it was a mix of chemical and a mould smell. The shower set up made it very hard to keep things dry. Everything got wet. The window sill, the blinds, the toilet and floor were soaked.

Room size for a 2 bedroom apartment was fantastic very large. 2 bathrooms was handy with a family. Nice walk thru premises to beach front.

Cons:

If you don't like super soft beds might be a problem. I liked but husband with back problems found bit too soft.
