We stayed here in June 2012, with our then 3yo. Close to shops & across from beach. We were a little alarmed when we got there & saw it was sitting behind a service station; however, there was very little smell or disruption. We stayed in the middle level apartment which was great, but think we will go one better... More

Our 2nd stay here in a little over 12 mths and did not disappoint. Clean and spacious with everything you could need for a short stay away from home. We stayed here with our 2 young children who did not want to leave. They especially loved the 'shower-bath' in the master bedroom! A quick stroll to the beach and the... More
