9.4 out of 10, Exceptional, (485)
"This place was perfect. We had a top floor ocean view, and I would not do that differently. The pool was beautiful, the view was beautiful. It was mostly very quiet. There was an easily walkable path along the beach, really lovely. Everything you needed in the apartment was there and it’s easy to get to the little supermarket nearby. We did have a car, of course, and parking was perfect and easy. We were on the fourth floor, and there was a very handy elevator. Everything was super...
