“The design is sleek, and the kitchenette is a practical addition. Location near the beach adds to the appeal, although some rooms lack the sea views promised. The pool area is impressive, but be aware that it can get crowded and occasionally unruly.”

the studio apartment was spacious. it offered a peaceful view of the sea. the separate bunk room was a big plus for the kids. the pool was super clean with excellent showers.
