Relaxing New Years Getaway

We had a lovely time staying in Absolute Beachfront Apartments, very comfortable and a perfect position to everything. The view from the balcony was beautiful, very relaxing. The owners were very flexible with times and communication was easy for anything we needed. We will be back.

Amazing apartment, location & the view was superb. Sadly though the cleanliness let it down, the previous guests rubbish were still in the bins, laundry in the washing machine & eye lashes by the bed. We were told at the peppers reception that the unit was not managed by them & to sort it ourselves.

Room is modern but more like a hotel room than an apartment. This apartment was chosen based on the excellent reviews, the pictures on the website and the description given. However, it is now apparent that the apartment depicted is classed as a superior apartment whereas the actual booking was only for a standard apartment. Therefore, the accommodation did not meet expectations and it is felt this was due to misleading or inaccurate information on the website.
