I recently had a lovely stay at a beachside apartment that offered fantastic views and spacious accommodations. The staff was warm and welcoming, which really added to the experience. However, the initial apartment we were in was quite noisy due to road traffic, though we were able to move to a more peaceful location by the pool after two nights. Overall, the amenities were excellent, but the noise issue was a downside at first.

My stay at the hotel was wonderful, especially in the brand new villa we were lucky enough to have. The property was clean, the kitchen was well-equipped, and overall, it felt very modern and comfortable. The restaurant served delicious food, which came in handy when our plans fell through. However, the busy road nearby did create some noise, and not all rooms offer a beach view, so be prepared for that. But with delightful staff and beautiful grounds, I would definitely return.
