Superb beach view - If the heatpump does not work then you need to switch the external unit in the balcony off and on again for it to start working - it make a big noise in the beginning but then settles down.

The view of the Ocean and the beach was great, as was the location. But the floor in the main bedroom had been wet at some point and had started it lift, making it very unsafe. The bathrooms had been renovated recently, but the shower shelf hadn't been replaced, meaning saop, shampoo etc had to go on the floor.
