The chaps that look after the complex were great and nothing was too much trouble for them. We would recommend these apartments.

We have stayed here before and at different apartments At The Beach, This is a nice apartment with the bonus of being able to sit out on a patio. The patio had been cleaned which made a difference but still could do with the actual stone paving being karchered, like the next door 2 apartments. The bed was very comfortable and all the linen and towels were fresh and new. A lovely hamper was left for our arrival which was much appreciated. We have already booked again for next year.
