This is a newly renovated luxury apartment, directly on the beach! All materials and furnishings are top quality, including a new bed with firm mattress and high-end cotton linens with my choice of pillows and duvets.
It's not often you get an apartment with a washer/dryer plus a dishwasher too!! The view from the terrace is stunning and has an equal view of the beach and the pool club. I had the option of lounging on the terrace, by the pool, or on the beach, whichever I was in the mood for...the whirlpool spa in the club was very relaxing after my flight to the island!
The owner had set up the terrace with sliding glass doors, so it looked like a natural extension of the apartment. The glass panel along the overlook gave me a clear view out, no metal or wood railings, while remaining completely safe. I especially liked the awning being operated by a flip of a switch; I could set it to any position, with a completely silent electric motor, how nice!
I was greeted with complimentary Cava (Spanish version of Champagne), water and milk, so I did not need to go shopping so urgently and I was pleased to find a pair of slippers and robe set aside in the large built-in closet, so I could go down the elevator to the beach without too much fuss about what I was wearing.
The design was done very smartly: The TV is on the wall with an extension arm to allow viewing from many angles, even from bed while you sip your morning coffee or tea; The kitchen is modern with all new appliances, even an oven; The bathroom has double sinks and a large, lighted mirror, so there is plenty of space to set your things and share the space too. The shower is very spacious with two shower heads; one for rainfall, the other as a hand-held spray you can mount (both can work at the same time). I was impressed by the sofa; soft supple leather-like material and a bed pops up from underneath, an incredibly efficient way to use the space.
The privacy curtain gives you the option to leave everything big open during the day and pull the curtain at night, for privacy and added darkness in the primary sleeping area. I can see how four people can sleep comfortably, since the curtain gives you the effect of two rooms and there are multiple beds. I especially enjoyed the sound of the ocean, it helped me to sleep better and longer!
Ultimately, this was a pleasant surprise and greatly exceeded my expectations! I'll be coming back for this one!
