Beautiful apartment with perfect location to town and beach. The host was super helpful, especially when I managed to lock myself out and my family were still asleep, they came out to help immediately. The apartment is over a lovely bakery which we enjoyed when we went. Very clean, great air con, facilities were fantastic. Host had excellent recommendations, so make sure to ask.

It was a bit confusing at the beginning but once we made contact with the host everything went very smoothly . The staff on location when we arrived didn't have any English and unfortunately we had limited Spanish but one of the girls went to the trouble of contacting a colleague by phone who had perfect English but we had reached the host at this point so all was good.
