This was a lovely little apartment within a complex. Well appointed (although could do with a kettle and toaster but suspect that might be a UK thing), nicely decorated, clean and very close to the centre of town.

Access to the (impressive) beach is no more than a 10 minute walk or so but note that there are many steps up and down unless you choose to drive down and take your chances as to whether you can find a parking spot.

The swimming pools and waterslides were a big hit with our kids and there are plenty of restaurants and bars on your doorstep. The only potential downside to this is that a nearby bar had nightly entertainers that went on singing until around midnight.

We never met or spoke with Vanessa but text/email contact was easy and there is a small key safe affixed to the wall outside the apartment entrance which made arrival and departure completely painless.

Overall, we had a lovely stay and many thanks to Vanessa for her hospitality.
