Lovely, simple, clean rooms with a gorgeous outlook to the pools. Our four year old would have stayed in the awesome pool area our entire trip if allowed! Easy walk across the road to beautiful pathways on the waterfront, and to a family friendly bar/pizza place. Very quick drive to the centre of town.
