Spacious & a million dollar view!
Just the most beautiful position with the ocean directly in front. The apartment was spacious and the king bed very comfy. The complex was very clean, tidy & well maintained. The gardens & pool area were stunning. The reception staff were friendly & helpful. We would highly recommend staying here.

Unfortunately the master had no aircon and the blinds were terrible as they had a massive gap in the middle that goes straight into the bed but other than that it was really good!!

Hard to beat
Ocean view apt had unobstructed views. Easy access to beach opposite. Secure property, well landscaped, undercover parking. Only downside for the less fit is the absence of a lift. Pleasant location.
