Amazing views and a great beach and pools.

Apartments are a little dated and more parking for higher vehicles in the property would be good.

The property is a little out dated but the location is excellent. You need to go grocery shopping and stock up the fridge and pantry with your essential items as eating out for every meal will cost you an arm and a leg. Don’t expect room service as these are units that you lease. We had the corner room overlooking the marina and the beach. Great spot to go swimming, fishing and all the tours and activities are walkable distance. The pool was lovely and a favourite of the kids. I personally enjoyed the fishing off the rocks in front of the marina and the locals are all extremely friendly and happy to have a chat.
Definitely going back.

Overall very good value for money. One problem with parking when an entitled person who was visiting took my spot. The person she was visiting entertained a lot - late at night. Didn’t enjoy listening to her loud opinions. I think I was just unlucky with that. Break free was great and staff bent over backwards to support me. I would happily stay there again. Loved being right on the beach. Thanks Break Free!
