For a 3 star hotel this place is awesome. We had a 3 bedroom top floor apartment. Very clean and tidy with super comfy beds, 2 bathrooms, huge balcony, 2 pools, spa, free parking, cheap wi-fi, close to everything. Beach is a 5 min walk, bottle shop etc. We loved it that much we decided to stay another night.
