    A little far from restaurants on foot- need a car and then everything is within minutes from the penthouse.

    The exceptional views, big outside area, barbecue and all about the penthouse! Very close to the beach.

    That we only stayed two nights - would happily have stayed much longer

    The penthouse terrace area was a wow for us - and the whole property had a wonderful feel. Richard was very welcoming and helpful with info.

    Not a single thing…

    Here's a review for the accommodation: "I recently stayed at this incredible property, and it exceeded all my expectations. The place was absolutely stunning, with breathtaking views that made every moment memorable. The amenities were top-notch – everything we could possibly need was provided, and more. The host was welcoming, attentive, and ensured we had a perfect stay. The attention to detail throughout the accommodation was impressive, and there wasn't a single thing we felt was missing. If you're looking for a beautiful, well-equipped, and relaxing getaway, this is the place to be. Highly recommended!"

    The sound of the ocean specifically at night . Also the weather and the wind some times very noisy and rough. The bed and the curtains in the room are required improvement.

    The place is good and have modern kitchen equipments. The setting halls are nice with good decoration. The view to ocean is good from the apartment. The owner or manger is friendly and offer all assistance needed

    Nothing to criticize.

    Spacious, very well-maintained, fabulous condo with breath-taking views, plenty of space for gathering family, both inside and outside. I can’t think of anything but praise for the experience. I would book this place again in a heartbeat if I ever have the chance to return. Richard was a delight to work with, very patient and ready to assist however he could.

    The fact that we only stayed here for 3 days. Next time we will come for longer!

    Where to begin.... This place was incredible! Richard the host was very communicative, helpful and friendly. Our arrival was perfect with him waiting for us there & a good tour of the beautiful apartment. We loved his online instruction guide with all info we needed about the place and region. We saw dolphins straight away from the terrace. Facilities TOP NOTCH. 3 different methods to make coffee (important for young parents like us), kitchen is so well-stocked that it even had items we don't have (eg a mango cutter), and it came with tupperware: great for picnics! Very large, well decorated, clean and overall perfect price/quality.

    The unit is a paradise with clean interior design and all you can wish for. It's tastefully decorated and the main bedroom has an amazing view of the ocean. The patio is has stunning views and is a great place to have breakfast or morning coffee. The sunrise is priceless and the host is amazing!
