User reviews
"During my stay at Dora's apartments, I was delighted to discover the exceptional location of the property. The beach was a true gem, complete with comfortable sunbeds for ultimate relaxation. The stunning scenery was particularly breathtaking during the evening hours, making for a truly picturesque experience."
Seth Harrington.
"The beach is simply amazing with its soft sandy texture. It offers an array of restaurants to satisfy your cravings and comfortable deck chairs to relax on. During our visit, the waves were impressively huge, making it unsuitable for swimming. However, the little ones had a delightful time playing with the waves in the shallow waters and building sandcastles on the shore."
