"Staff was very kind and helpful. Room was clean and comfortable. Beach was more playground type sand than soft sand. No one really at the beach, everyone went to the Lagoon instead. "
"The room was perfect for our needs with a great view over the boats and out to sea.
The kitchen was amply supplied with sufficient crockery and cutlery, and even an iron and ironing board were available.
The only issue was that the internet was intermittent and a little frustrating when it kept 'dropping out', otherwise we were very happy with our stay."
