Great 3 bedroom apartment in a good central location near to shops, bars and restaurants. Nicely appointed with good kitchen facilities. Only let down was not the most comfortable bed and pillows. Other than that excellent. Wound recommend. Nice quiet location.

Beautifully spacious two bed room apartment. Very comfortable king size bed. Great shower and well appointed kitchen. Friendly service too. Really liked this spot. We even had new sofas delivered and set up when we were there. It was a quick 5 minute process and made our stay that much more comfortable. Thanks

A great choice for families. Clean and comfortable, and just a short walk to the pools and shops. There’s a bit of wear and tear so don’t expect ultimate high end luxury, but everything works and the rooms are clean. We would definitely stay again. Although perhaps we’d request an upstairs unit next time as in the bottom apartment we could hear a bit of stomping coming from upstairs even though the rooms in general seem relatively well sound proofed.

This apartment was immaculate. Very well appointed with lovely hosts. The only thing I could say that I find frustrating is that when you have a full kitchen and there are no basics such as cooking oils and condiments that you need very little of and the local grocery store is really expensive for these items. Otherwise, it really had everything and we had a wonderful stay.
