This was the worst experience.
We cancelled our stay after 1 night. There was no electricity, and no air conditioning the whole night. It was noisy due to music from the restaurant.
The facility is yet to give us our refund.
@Expedia we are still waiting for a refund almost a week later.
Stay away guys, you will be disappointed.

This was a nice find. Quiet, clean apartment with easy access to the beach. Pool clean. Staff very friendly. It is a bit isolated from the main road but we were happy to find a restaurant on the premises so we had the option to eat out or in the room if we did not want to cook. Food was good and staff also friendly.
The only downside was the hot water in the showers was not working. They told us it is a pump issue that should be fixed soon.
Would stay here again!
