Only a short walk to the main street, where there is plenty of restaurants and activities. Beautiful view from the balcony of the whole of the Bay. Peaceful, location. BQ to cook the fish you catch. These apartments are tastefully furbished. Defnitely will be back with the rest of our family

I stayed at Absolute Bliss (I believe at the same time as the previous review). I could describe the property as nothing but Absolute Bliss.

I don't believe there... More
