"A perfect spot, only 10-15 minutes walk to the beachfront and enough facilities in the unit to cater for ourselves for a couple of nights. A great aspect from the balcony which encouraged us to stay in and not go out in the evenings. One of the most comfortable beds you could ever wish to sleep in.
