The manager Marisa is wonderful, so helpful and friendly! The apartment was huge. We stayed 9 nights in a 3 bedroom apartment which was big and spacious. Perfect for families with kids gives you a break from been in each others face. Will be staying here again for sure!

What a location!!!!! So cheap too! 3 bedroom apartment was huge - right on the beach - comfy beds! Great pool and amenities! The staff couldn't be more helpful! Travelling with 3 kids couldn't have been made more fun! Buses take you from right out the front to wherever you want to go! We are so going back! Loved it!!!!!!!!!!

My husband and I and our 15 month old baby were on holiday with two friends so suitable accommodation for two different agendas was high on the priority list - the penthouses were ideal!... More

Nice and spacious and we were lucky to have a recently renovated apartment which had amazing beach front views and access. Lovely big bedrooms and clean, modern feel. Great friendly staff and nice and... More
