"Lovely apartment close to everything with fabulous expansive ocean views and also nice and quiet. The pools were lovely too. Host was very good to deal with and the apartment even had a lot of useful extra's ie sauces, toast spreds, pool towels and beach toys for the kids etc. Air conditioning (Heatpumps) in each bedroom was also a great addition.
