This is a nice little place in a nice area 1 block away from the beach. The property is a serviced appartment style rather than a hotel. So be prepared to BYO shampoo and body soap(i wish we knew that before getting there). There is also a fully equiped kitchen however it's BYO dishwasher detergent as well to wash the kitchen ware after use. The property manager was nice enough to give us washing powder so we can do our laundry, that was nice.
