Good location, nice park and beach very close. We enjoyed doing groceries and cooking as the room had everything needed to cook.
Unfortunately there is almost no sound proofing so we didn’t sleep well the last 3 nights as the neighbour watched TV until late at night.

Excellent stay, can’t wait to come again.
Excellent accommodation with everything you could need for a stay. Although some conditioner for hair would be a nice addition lol Sunbeds were lovely and comfortable and generally available when needed. Food was good in the restaurant.
