We had a really nice stay at this place (3 Adults, 3 children). Directly at the beach, also a lot of nice restaurants near by (easy to access them by foot…). Staff was really friendly, everything was clean and well managed. The environment is also kept in good shape and with a focus on small details. Would go their again.
