The location is great, you can wrap yourself in a towel and quickly jump onto the beach. The apartments are modern and comfortably furnished… as a solo traveller, a feeling of family.

Morning sun through the palm trees in the garden

When you arrive, the first thing you see is this lovely garden in front, and on the other side of the street is the beach. It felt like we were staying at a vacation house owned by a kind friend who lived next door.
