I recently had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful holiday apartment and it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with breathtaking views of the sea from the balcony, setting the tone for a truly memorable stay. It provided the perfect spot to start each day, sipping coffee while soaking in the panoramic sea views. The apartment itself was thoughtfully designed with comfort and convenience in mind. The cleaning staff came by daily to clean along with change of towels and linen.

We were lucky enough to get a room with a balcony just next to the hotel dining room and it was superb! The room was clean and comfortable. Their dining room is on 3rd floor overlooking the beach! The hotel sits right in front of the beach and you have less than 5 minutes walk to famous restaurants like Spur, Wimpy, McDonald's, Steers, Debonairs Pizza, Ocean Basket, to name a few, which are also on the beachfront.

My room was amazing. It was facing the ocean/beach. The breeze was entering my room every morning during the my time there. I enjoyed my time drinking coffee and watching the surfers in the morning. The breakfast was really pleasant. Breakfast was eggs, omlets and fruit along with other options. The location was on the beach and close to all the action. The bar was cool and active with a DJ on the weekends for happy hour.
