Balanced stay with some drawbacks
ideal location beach access spacious room clean room bizarre layout resort design multiple buildings difficult access
The location of the place is ideal. The proximity to the beach is a definite plus. The room I had was spacious and clean.
The layout of the resort felt a bit strange. It was spread across several buildings. Getting to the restaurant involved lifts and stairs. The tv in lounge is ok but we like to watch tv in bed if early doors.
