Excellent place to stay in Rainbow Bay
The apartment was spacious and had everything we needed. It included a washing machine, dishwasher, and all necessary kitchen utensils. The linens and pillows were spotlessly clean. The pillows and mattress had additional protective layers.
Mary greeted us upon arrival, and she was exceptionally kind.
