Access to so many beaches was perfect but a map in our room would have been nice, we discovered one beach as we were leaving sadly. The swimming pool has no shade and only a steel ladder to get in which is extremely hot.

The location is prime, clean and well kept surroundings. Staff were friendly and helpful although it was concerning that none of the staff were wearing masks and not enforcing this policy.

Hi Sophie, Thank you for your wonderful comments. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay with us. Thank you for sharing your concern re the mask policy. We do and have followed all the policies for Accommodation providers since March 2020 and have done everything we need to do to take care of our guests as well as our staff. If we where a high rise accommodation provider with no outside walkways with only lifts and corridors with a shared air con offered this would be very different . Masks would have to be worn at all times as everyone would be constantly inside. Here at the Resort we all are fortunate to have fresh air where we all mainly work Stay safe and well Janet :-)
