Exceptional place to stay for a relaxing beach stay. Very comfortable and well appointed apartment. Nice views of beach. Easy to drive to and parking. Friendly reception. Room was ready for early check in. It was very nice that they offered use of the resort facilities after checkout as that was 10 am. The pool is heated and one of the nicest we have seen in our travels. Plenty of restaurants and supermarkets within walking distance. We stayed 2 nights but I wish we had more time to stay longer. Maybe next time.
