Staff were so friendly and the room was large and clean with very comfortable beds. We ate at the restaurant and the food was great. Special thanks to the lady on reception who then went to work in the reception in the evening (sorry forgot her name) she was so nice and made us feel very welcome. We recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to return.
The unit allocated to us didn't have a dishwasher as described in the site, but it wasn't a big deal. Everything else was great, clean, spacious, and good and fast service from management when needed (like replacing bbq gas bottle). I'll be coming back in the future for sure.
For us “oldies” stepping into a bath for a shower is never ideal, BUT apart from that minor issue, our stay was PERFECT.
Starting with the lovely warm welcome from the helpful, young lady at reception through to the rest of our stay could not be faulted.
The room was spacious, the bed was comfortable, the bathroom was a good size and the locality was great.
It was a great place to stay with family. The rooms we were allocated were spacious and comfortable. It was convenient to the beach and the local shops in the village had great eating options. We will stay there again.
Great home so close to the shops and beach. Breezes and ocean waves at night. Great large layout suited our family. Restaurant on site was a big plus with great dinners!
