The beach view is why you stay here. It is a functional apartment with basic furnishings and amenities. No couch or comfortable place to sit. Kitchen was equipped with essentials. Unfortunately only air-conditioning in the master bedroom. A fan in the second bedroom and nothing in the kitchen/lounge which can get quite warm. The beach has clear water and is not crowded (we came at the beginning of July). Carmelo was a great host, responding quickly to any questions and flexible with check-in.
