Looks just like the pictures!

This is a gorgeous apartment with great views. The pictures are very accurate. Very close to the beach. Very comfortable and well appointed and the staff were helpful and accommodating. Few ants in the kitchen but they were actively working on it and I'm sure it will be aleviated in no time. Has some cool features like a retractable skylight in the downstairs bedroom and great mood lighting options. I would stay here again.

Es ist schlicht wunderschön und es hat alles super geklappt. Toller Pool, gute Lage, schöne Aussicht, alles Top! Die Gastgeber sind sehr nett und immer vor Ort falls etwas ist. Einzig der Kühlschrank ist etwas klein, wenn man gerne selber kocht und für mehrere Tage einkaufen möchte, aber auch das geht. Danke für den tollen Aufenthalt!
