Great location, spacious "State room' with opening on to own large balcony. Only criticism was thin 1 ply toilet paper, and shampoo and shower gel dispensers need about 15 pumps to get enough product. A false economy we have also experienced at some other places.

Good location with easy walking distance to the beach and shops. Staff were friendly and helpful. My only issue was the beds. They were awful and dampened the entire experience. The single bed leaned to one side. The queen bed was way too spongy and you just sank, making it very difficult to move.

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
