This resort is in an ideal location right across from the beach. The apartment was well-kept, and I appreciated having a small kitchen for meal preparation. The pool area was a treat, surrounded by beautiful gardens. However, the shower pressure could use improvement, and the hairdryer is outdated, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, great value for the price with easy access to local amenities.
