Great location on the water. Walking distance to the marina and some cafes. Functionally the apartment was spot on (3 bdrm, 2bthrm, kitchen, laundry) and mostly clean. Apartment is dated but met our needs.

The property is a little out dated but the location is excellent. You need to go grocery shopping and stock up the fridge and pantry with your essential items as eating out for every meal will cost you an arm and a leg. Don’t expect room service as these are units that you lease. We had the corner room overlooking the marina and the beach. Great spot to go swimming, fishing and all the tours and activities are walkable distance. The pool was lovely and a favourite of the kids. I personally enjoyed the fishing off the rocks in front of the marina and the locals are all extremely friendly and happy to have a chat. Definitely going back.

Amazing views and a great beach and pools. Close walk to lots of dining options. Apartments are a little dated and more parking for higher vehicles in the property would be good.

Absolutely stunning sea view from our apartment. Very clean and tidy but very, very tired. Really needs to be repainted and bought up to date. No settee in the living room just individual wooden Ikea chairs. I loke to sit next to my partner not 3 foot away from him. Glass in the shower had glass cancer and a hole in the door thst had been filled in and the bottom of the bathroom door was falling apart. Apart from that, the apartment was situated in a great place, close to the marina complex. Was quiet and tidy.
