9.4/10 Exceptional! (276 reviews)

The stayed in a deluxe two bedroom apartment. It was clean and comfortable but was a like dated. The views are fantastic. It was quiet and perfect for a relaxing time away. It had aircon downstairs but none upstairs, this made it v hot up there, especially in the 2nd bedroom. We used the provided fans but they really need proper air con upstairs.
