You couldn't fault this place even if you tried.The apartment was absolutely magnificent and beautifully maintained overlooking the ocean and it was nice and peaceful without a sound in the world and with a short drive to the main street for coffee and lunch or dinner or even a stroll on the beach to enjoy its beauty. The staff was very welcoming for a late check in and the apartment in the way it was set up from a massive kitchen to the lounge to the bedroom and the beautiful bathroom with a spa to the balcony and its beautiful views, you could not ask for a better set up than that and we both enjoyed it and definitely would come back for another visit☺️👍🤙💪😎

Position and views

The lighting on the front of the main office was extremely bright at night and was on until after 10pm this made using the outdoor balcony very uncomfortable due to the reflection on the skillion roof. Safety lighting needs only to be enough to light the walkway and steps not flood light the building
