Amazing place

An amazing hotel. We stayed in the 2 bedroom apartment with a balcony overlooking the sea. Easy straight forward check in. The apartment is so spacious and has everything you need. Fabulous kitchen well stocked with everything you need. Lovely bath and walk in shower. Comfortable beds. You will need to take food with you as no shops nearby. There is a cafe we did not go into it so cannot review. Overall an amazing place would definitely go back.
