Loved the location, easy to walk around for everything that we need. Beach, park, groceries, cafes, restaurants. Ideal for small children and was nice to hang around the salt water pool if the beach felt like too much. My apartment was average but also everything we needed for a few days stay. Would definitely stay here again.

Check-in was great and the room was quite clean but I didn't like the spa-shower which, for someone like me, was difficult to get in and very risky getting out.
