"Beautiful spot. We had one of the older units on the ground floor (beachside apartment). But it was clean and well maintained with all we needed. Stunning views. Only no screens, which was a bonus for the views but also a negative as no way of leaving a window or door open securely and also keeping wildlife out. But overall we loved our stay and will be back for sure."
