Loved this place. Staff super friendly. The only downfall is you have to step up and into spa to have a shower. It is a big step up. Everything else was really good. Thankyou

Lovely modern room, had everything thing I needed including a some laundry detergent dishwasher liquid, coffee, tea sugar and milk provided. Did a late check-in all went smoothly except the fob to garage didn't work, but there was parking available not undercover and was immediately sorted by reception no fuss when I talked to them next morning. I didn't feel the need to ring after hrs Pros: Air-Con, clean and well presented, tv in both lounge and bedroom, large bathroom inc waser and dryer. Ample pillows and blankets comfortable bed. Heated spa by main pool. Location cross the road to patrolled swimming beach and of course Friendly helpful reception staff. Cons: I had to go home eventually.

1.the place is a rabbit warren with doors and stairs up & down everywhere and very easy to have no idea where you are. 2. Room had no table to eat or drink off; or any suitable area/table/desk to work off. 3. The small spa bath was a 'death trap' with a very deep to get in, no handles or rails, nowhere to seat; and so for the same reasons, very difficult to get out safely. 4. The small fridge is a disgrace - no shelves in the door at all except a bottom shelf that only had a 2-3cm rail so you could put nothing in it (and as mentioned) there were no other shelves; and the other shelves in the fridge were also dysfunctional heights, partly because of the totally useless door. 5.There no actual CHAIRS to sit down at (and as mentioned no table either) - just two old barely adequate lounge chairs.
