Good place
The apartment is very beautiful and comfortable, with a gorgeous ocean view. It’s spacious, and there are shops and restaurants nearby. The city center with beaches and a large supermarket is only a 15-minute drive away. There are also hiking spots close by, as well as almost all the major tourist attractions, so I gladly recommend this place to everyone.

Hezké ubytování. U silnice, ale v klidné lokalitě. Blízko krámeček se vším možným. Majitelka krámečku dělá výborné hamburgery a má dobrou ponču. Dobré místo na výlety. Autem se dostanete po celém ostrově do 1hodiny. Kuchyň vybavená. Pokoje krásné, nové a prostorné.Výborná komunikace s majitelem. Při řešení problému okamžitá pomoc. Jsme rádi , že jsme se tu mohli ubytovat.
