Reviews
The rooms were sufficiently large and clean. The attention of the owner to the guests was excellent. Really great sea views.
The apartment was always cool, even though it was very hot outside.
Not far from the CTICC and the city center.
Pleasant stay.
Bluegum Hill is the nicest 3 star guest house I have ever stayed at. The people are very nice and accomodating. The view of the new stadium and waterfront area is outstanding. Very conveniently located as well.
