Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Evelyn F. 12 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely property Very nice property that looked exactly like the pictures. It felt like a luxury hotel. Unfortunately there was no Wifi as it is a new listing, and despite being advertised there was no small bench oven. Kitchenette was nice but very limited- only two very small pots so not much cooking could be done. Apartment was mostly clean with the exception of a small vomit stain on the duvet which I didn't notice until the last day. The host communicated well and responded very quickly to my messages. The view of the beach outside was also beautiful. ##### Evelyn F. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Gayle R. 14 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Location location This property within the Waves complex is ideally situated for everything you might want to do whilst on the island. The apartment is spacious and has a large spa bath included. The Bedlinen was of a great quality as were the towels. Checking was seamless. A few issues on arrival with a booking misunderstanding. But the matter was dealt with promptly by Caterina. Please note though. No wifi! I didn’t read the fine print. ##### Gayle R.
