Staff were friendly and helpful. Location was nice across from the beach. Spacious 2-bed apartment, which was well equipped and has everything you need. But I thought the property was overpriced. There was nothing special about this place and there wasn’t much service. I stayed 11 nights and my apartment was cleaned once. 2 flights of stairs to lug all my bags! I had to ask a few times what there was to do - no offer to book anything for me. And booking a massage at the local place was so difficult! I didn’t end up getting one in the two weeks I was there. This place was nice. I liked the secure aspect of it. But there needs to be a little more energy to really lift the standard! Also, I could hear footsteps above my apartment, which disturbed my sleep, some crazy person screaming (I assume external to the property) on one night and when trying to take a nap to make up for lost sleep I could only hear kids in the pool screaming Marco Polo. This place is probably great if you’re a family travelling with kids and if you’re happy to do everything for yourself. It was ok, could be amazing or cheaper.

Overall it was good. Although a bit over priced. I was extremely disappointed that there was construction scaffolding right in front of our balcony obstructing our view. Ocean view is why i paid to be on the top floor, not construction view.
