On the Sea

“Staying in the three-bedroom apartments is a dream come true. With sliding doors opening to the patio, I enjoyed amazing beach views right from my room. Both bathrooms provided great convenience, one with a bath & shower combo, while the other had a handy shower-over-bath option. The ease of accessing these apartments from the parking area using the lift and trolleys made my stay even better.” view full review
