The location is central. It is very close to everything. The staff was helpful. I especially LOVED the saltwater pool. It was very nice. The apartment overlooked the pool.
The nightlife did not end until 4am. It was VERY loud. It was hard to sleep. I found a smell of mold coming from all wardrobes. I did not put my clothes in there. Walls and windows did not reduce the sound. It was really loud.

The staff provided beach towels and a bag for the beach. The room was very spacious. the building had a beautiful staircase. I found communication with the host great right from the start. The location was perfect.
The manager was not helpful. I found the manager complained about us. They did not change our bed sheets or towels. I think that is bang out of order.
