Amazing apartment, location & the view was superb. Sadly though the cleanliness let it down, the previous guests rubbish were still in the bins, laundry in the washing machine & eye lashes by the bed. We were told at the peppers reception that the unit was not managed by them & to sort it ourselves.

We had a lovely time staying in Absolute Beachfront Apartments, very comfortable and a perfect position to everything. The view from the balcony was beautiful, very relaxing. The owners were very flexible with times and communication was easy for anything we needed. We will be back.
