“These apartments offer a prime beachfront location and spacious layouts ideal for families or groups; however, be sure to request an upper-floor unit for the best experience, notably penthouse for sunrise and sunset views. The combination of beach access, a good pool, and fully equipped apartments are attractive, so I would recommend it with that caveat.”
