Fantastic Apartment Stay!

spacious apartmentsuperb viewbeautiful gardengreat pool
Our three-bedroom apartment was impressively spacious and well-equipped. The marina views were superb I enjoyed watching the boats from the balcony. The pool area was great. Many chairs surrounded it! The gardens around the hotel looked really pretty. They were well kept too
The dryer in the apartment didn't seem to work so well. It was a minor issue though

the two-bedroom apartment was a good size. it had a marina view (i enjoyed watching the boats). the walk to town was short and flat (very convenient).
the dryer in the unit was not effective. the tv did not work upon arrival. the beds had only bottom sheets that were not fitted (, made sleeping uncomfortable).
