Well presented apartment with laundry facilities and fully equipped kitchen, pool, short walk to ocean and restaurants. We stayed after hiking, so made good use of the space to unpack, wash and sort gear.

We had a great 2 bedroom apartment. The rooms were spacious along with the kitchen and having a separate bathroom to the kids was amazing. The laundry facilities and the gardens and pools are just magical. We just loved our stay here. Thanks

Spacious apartment with good facilities. Wasn't the cleaniest on arrival but nothing a quick sweep didn't fix. Resort amenities were a winner - games room a bit of fun and pools were great!
