Good apartment for short stay

It’s a good apartment stay. While the entire building faces the sea we had the pool view so not all apartments face the sea. Only the bigger apartments. The garage is big and each apartment can park two cars. Problem is leaving the garage for the first time we were confused as there is no instruction about taping the knob at a device on a pillar far from the gate. Apartment is spacious for four but heating is only available in the living room not in the rooms which were cold during our stay. The kitchen is sufficiently stocked but lacking in utensils that we need for cooking. Overall it’s a pleasant stay.

We had a great stay at the Reef Beachfront Apartments. We were upgraded from a pool level 2 BR, 2 BA apartment to one on the 3rd level with a view of the Mount (though not the ocean, which was fine). The apartment was enormous! It was also very clean, very comfortable and had everything we needed: a large balcony with a table/chairs and sun umbrella, a full kitchen stocked with glassware, plates, pots, pans, etc, and (best of all) a full size washer and dryer. The location was great, just across from a swimming beach. It was a beautiful 20-30 minute walk into town and there was a great little cafe about a 5-7 min walk away. New World was about a 5-10 min walk. Free garage parking was an added bonus. We didn't end up using the pool or hot pool but both looked lovely. We'd stay here again.

Thank you Toni! Loved this property. Very well kept, great pool area, very spacious 2 bedroom suite with well-equipped kitchen and nicely open to a large living room area and dining table. Everything I needed for a great 5 nights. I highly recommend this property for a short or extended stay.
