ideal locationbeach accessspacious roomclean roombizarre layoutresort designmultiple buildingsdifficult 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. The tv in lounge is ok but we like to watch tv in bed if early doors.
