She told us she would leave her contact information and useful links for the property to our phone and email but we never received it. She said she lives 15 min away and will come by when it's needed. We mentioned that we will have to...

The general layout is linear, following the curve of the coast, making it easy to stroll between establishments.

For families, staying near the central beach area is ideal. Many hotels here offer facilities like swimming pools and direct beach access, making it easy to keep children entertained.
