"Staff were friendly and happy to help with any questions. The room was good, but it could do with thicker curtains, as some light was coming through at night from the outside lights. Otherwise its a good resort at a decent price which was wonderful for travelling on a budget."

"Wonderful stay and fantastic for our family group of 10. We loved the pool and the outdoor area and the location. We also loved watching the plans arrive and depart. House was lovely however some fittings need attention ie tap in ensuite, some mattresses upstairs may need updating and some amenities listed were not available ie beach towels and hair dryer. We all loved the house and had a great time."
