Great place to stay and will definitely be back.
Pros:

We were only in town for a few days and the apartment was great. The weather wasn't as good as we would have liked but the pool, spa and facilities made up for that. It was great having a ground floor apartment which meant that we had a patio and outlook straight out to the pool.

Cons:

Having to leave!
