Location was great, right next to the beach and the golf course. Room was old but refurbished and the daily servicing of the apartment was nice. Staff were very friendly and there were more amenities than we realised - lovely communal deck on the beach to watch the sunrise, pool, and could borrow bikes and racquets/balls for the half tennis court.

The room still had paint smells from freshly painted walls and the floors could have done with another wash as you could feel grit on the floor from the workers. Other wise the room was very clean and the view was great.
