How lucky was I???? Pool just opened day prior plus my roommates left leaving me with entire room with balcony overlooking pool plus ensuite for myself. Kitchen looked great but why bother when smack in middle of town & 2 min to beach with food...

The property is newly refurbished, spotlessly clean, and offers very comfortable beds. The staff are amazing, and its convenient location makes it ideal, just a short 10-minute walk to the beach.
