8/10 Good

Great Property with a lovely pool area and allocated cabanas. A coupe of a improvements I would suggest: First: There is no sockets/light by the bedisde, so if you want to read at night bring a torch (I am sure some surfers read, surley?) Second: Some cabanas are not on beach front but second row or by the pool. This is not clear when booking. Do ask before commiting if that is important to you.
