Beautiful spot, right in centre of town, short walk to shops and restaurants. The drive is quite steep, if you have difficulty walking best to drive.

The staff that we interacted with at the property were very nice, and the location really can not be beat for the price. However, when we got to our room there was a shaving razor in the bathroom from the previous guests, which made us question the cleanliness of the place. We were also surprised by how limited the bedding was, the beds only had a top sheet on them and only one extra blanket was provided in a closet. The pool area of the hotel is really nice, and we enjoyed our time there.

Check in was seamless, views were amazing, there maybe some little things about the apartment that could be updated, but nothing could spoil the experience.
