I stayed at Nordia’s Airbnb apartment at Franklin D. Resort and it was a beautiful place with everything you need. I was there for a family emergency and plans changed several times and Nordia was always contactable, accommodating, and incredibly supportive, which meant so much during a stressful period. The apartment was beautifully kept, clean, and peaceful, with some of the most scenic views imaginable. It was well equipped with a microwave, fridge freezer, and kettle, making it easy to feel at home. The room has a beautiful view of the sea and it’s close to everything you’ll need. The resort is welcoming and enjoyable, with a beautiful beach, a bar, nightly entertainment, a spa, and a pond. The resort is family friendly and a is a hidden gem. Reception and staff on site were always helpful. There’s a local shop just a five-minute walk away for groceries. I truly appreciate Nordia’s kindness and care—it made a difficult time much easier, and I can’t wait to return. Thank you!
