great location spacious apartment well-kept pool few lamps small cup blunt knife

The location was excellent. our apartment was quite spacious. i especially liked the pools. They were well-kept, i thought.

The apartment lacked lamps. this made the lighting less relaxing. also, the cups were very small. It seemed like just a mouthful of coffee. i found the knives to be rather blunt too.

it was a 1.5 bedroom apartment with ocean views (a great surprise). the location had lots of space. free parking for the three nights we stayed. we got fresh towels daily and the beach was a short walk away.

the service felt impersonal at times when dealing with reception staff. it's understandable due to the high number of guests they handle daily. i missed the personalized service that other resorts offer.
