During a stay of 7 nights the apartment was cleaned once after 3 days which was a very good service. The staff at the reception were very friendly and helpful. The grounds are very well kept. Around 10 minutes walk to a very nice beach with a nice beach bar. Overall also a good strategic location.

We liked the apartment feel with comfortable bed (king?). There was a kitchen that we cooked in with no problems. The view was incredible from both the bedroom and the living room (which included a wonderful terrace from both rooms also). We loved the location to the beach and the pool. We took elevator with luggage, otherwise we used the stairs...

We took elevator with luggage, otherwise we used the stairs. Nice restaurant right downstairs.
