    The property is in an amazing location overlooking the surf although when the sea gets wild it is a bit noisy. Very nice service and generous breakfast everyday. We upgraded as on an extended stay and got a very spacious room overlooking the bay. The main street is close with all the restaurants and bars. The big problem is the beach which is covered in plastic trash and no one wants to take responsibility to clean in spite of it being the living for the whole town. We collected 2 big bags of trash trying to make it cleaner. Not what I want to do on my summer break!…
