A perfect place to stay

A perfect place to stay. Within walking distance to the nicest restaurants and so close to the markets and nightlife. The room was so nice and spacious with lots of storage. The only thing I would like is a full size ironing board. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

This is a great property right on the beach. The room was a lot bigger than we were expecting and very clean and comfortable. The only down side (and it was a minor thing), was that the shower wasn’t great. Otherwise, we had a great stay and would highly recommend 😊
