    We loved this property. It was worth every penny to upgrade to a unit with a private patio and ocean view.

    The only piece of constructive criticism I would offer is to upgrade the shower towels and the beach towels (they seemed a bit old), and to put a shelf in the shower so that there is a place to put your soap and shampoo. We loved everything else.

    We loved the pool, the ocean view, the kitchenette, the private patio, the comfortable beds, and friendly/helpful staff.

    The only thing I would add is a safety rail for the shower as I felt the tray was a bit slippy when wet but otherwise everything was good. It wasn't an issue for me but not everyone may be happy that the studios face the pool and there may be people sitting right outside the apartment.

    Great location, super helpful and friendly receptionists, Eva and Jessica. I was in a studio apartment that was well equipped and a good size. I loved having the little balcony to sit out on for breakfast and a drink at dusk. Although only a short walk from the town and the seafront it was a quiet tranquil location.

    For a room rated as "superior" some upgrades could be made - the bath has a sizeable chip that needs repaired, towels are thin and could be much higher quality and the fitted sheet for the bed is not an adequate size for the mattress...minor issues that would make easy improvements to an already great property!

    We stayed in the superior apartment with terrace and the views from the terrace were incredible! Apartment was spotless and had everything we needed and was comfortable and cool to relax in. Kitchen area was particularly useful for us. Location is ideal for old town and beaches. Every single member of staff was extremely pleasant. We look forward to returning in the future!

    The building architecture is beautiful but the rooms could use some updating. The hot water heater for the shower lasted less than 8 minutes and the towels were thread bare.

    The room was small in size but the space was used well so we were very comfortable there for our 6 night stay. Basic kitchen amenities so that you could cook a meal when needed. We had a view of the pool and ocean. Was a very peaceful stay.

    A small thing, the smell from the bathroom/plumbing was over powering. This carried into the bedroom and kitchen area by day 2 and it was such a shame. Also, neighbours completing renovation works made the pool experience less enjoyable but this was out of the hosts control entirely. Everything else was perfect and I'd definitely stay again!!

    Excellent location and staff were really helpful. Local bakery with croissants the size of my head and both the walk to centre and to the stunning beaches were close by.

    There was a bit of an issue with getting into the building, other folks were coming out of the building so we got in that way, but could not get the drop box open on the outside. We were able to call the owners and they then sent an email. Then the receptionist arrived and showed us where the apartment was. Would have been difficult to find if she had not been there. The weather did not not comply so were unable to do any water activities which is why we came. However weather cannot be controlled.

    All was great. Very comfortable. Nice walk around town area.

    The towels are a kinda worn and thin.

    Location is great and staff is really helpful. The facilities were nice, but it was too cold for us to use the pool. We stayed in two different room types, one with an amazing ocean view but a little dated. The other with a nice pool view and smaller but cozier and more recently redone.
