Just returned from a 1 week vacation and was our 1st time visiting this surfing town. The location of the apartment is great - you are a block from the beach and in the midst of restaurants, cafes and market stores. Overall pros would include:
- location and everything you need is in walking distance including small grocery store
- apartment has all amenities including dishes, salt & pepper, soap, shampoo, conditioner, blow dryer and even some coffee though not sure if this was left from prior guests. We were presently surprised to learn that there is daily housekeeping who provides fresh towels
- large purified water jug that is filled as required (before running out)
- outdoor shower to rinse off after day at the beach
- enjoyed happy hour(s) at the beach watching surfers
A few cons would include:
- Wifi is very intermittent
- no microwave that would of been handy to warm up leftovers
- the pool is small- more of a plunge pool and quite cold as does not get sun so we never used it
- the main beach is very busy & ocean waves are intense so swimming in the ocean was intense and took a few spills. There is also smaller, quieter beach to the left of the main beach but still has large waves which one should expect when visiting a surfing town!
