Clean, high ceilings, very comfortable beds, fantastic view of the sea. Very friendly and helpful staff. Balcony big enough to sit on and eat. We were helped carry our luggage up stairs.

Perfect spot just close enough to town - but not too close. And near the lovely coastal walk. Very comfortable room. Charming staff to greet you. A lovely spot. I'd stay here again for sure.

The undercover car park, the spacious living area, not to mention the fabulous views of the mountains and the sea. And being able to hear the waves was breath-taking. Having a washing machine and dryer. The kitchen was fully equipped. Shops and restaurants were are short walk away. There's a cafe and restaurant only two minutes walk away that cater for people with food allergies/intolerances. And seeing dolphins from our balcony with the use of the apartment telescope was just exciting.

    Stunning location - right on the beachfront with an amazing view to wake up to! We booked a suite for our 1 night which was massive and very well equipped. Breakfast was very nice but there were a small number of waiting staff so took a bit of time.
