10/10 Excellent
"The property location is great—on the beach with several little cafes and eating spots on site. The apartment was clean and pleasant. Two smallish issues: One, nearly impossible to open the verandah sliding doors. Seriously hard! Some spray silicone would really help! Second, better instructions for Sunday arrivals. Reception closes at noon and check in is at 2pm."
