The apartments are of good size and in fairly good condition overall, but my room was not ready upon arrival. The staff are very friendly, helpful, and have great humor, although there was an issue with contacting someone for assistance. The location is nice and usually quiet, with easy access to the beach, supermarket, and restaurants. The dining was okay, but some items seemed lacking in quality. Overall, a decent stay with a few areas needing improvement.
