Fantastic stay
Room was clean and well presented. Staff were really helpful and wanted to look after us which was really nice as I had some bad news and a family emergency meaning I had to cut my time short and they were kind enough to refund me the cost. Apartment is situated right by the beach close to the centre of all shops. Will definitely be staying here again

Pros: amazing location, sea views, elevator, parking
Cons: Mattress was terrible, soft and so uncomfortable, Aircon was not strong enough to cool the room, a little pricey
