A very short walk to the beach, and shop,if i needed it. The pool was fabulous, nice and deep. I visited Agnes when it was a quieter time, so i had it mostly to myself. Bottom floor accommodation was great for my week.

The apartment was generally clean, although there was some sand on the sofas and in a few drawers in the bedroom, which isn't a big deal. However, the washing machine had mold and a strong musty smell inside. Also, the BBQ gas tank was empty, but after notifying them, it was replaced the next day. The check-in process was somewhat cumbersome, as it was necessary to provide credit card details over the phone to a staff member. Although the online check-in works, the access code takes about 20 minutes to arrive. The resort has two pools, but guests have access to only one, depending on the room option selected.
