Great location! Near the waterfront promenade and park. Stayed in family room, which was large and had a fridge in the room which was convenient. Very clean. Kitchen was well set up. Very quiet too, no loud people late at night, even on a Friday night.

The room was large, spacious and clean . Like the pool and area . Could use a bit TLC on the grounds , kitchen and building. Great location to town . No TV room that's a good thing. Only thing is looking ahead seems heavily booked . I differently go back . Thanks for a enjoyable stay.

Check-in was easy even after 2 p.m. Booked a new apartment, but unfortunately they forgot to clean the toilet when we arrived. Very disgusting. Great location, everything was available in the shared kitchen. Right on the beach. Quick access to the city.
