"We got 2-bedrooms apartment. The place is clean, modern /contemporary. Location is the best. It only takes less than 5 minutes to walk to the beach, retail shops and restaurants. We literally didn't have to drive for the 3 days and 2 nights. The kitchen has all of the basic things to cook. Washer and dryer worked perfectly fine. Staff are friendly and helpful. Parking was easy, though it may require a bit of great driving skill to park at certain spots. The apartment is spacious. We had a great time staying there, and would return and recommend to friends."
