Perfect spot for sunset!
The apartment is nice and it is indeed close to the beach.. However, there was a lack of attention of the cleaning personnel. They were dirty trays in the oven, dirty dishes in the dishwasher, and clothes in the dryer. The filters in the dryer were filthy The cleaner came quickly upon our request though.
