Pros:

The location was excellent for the beach, just a short walk across the playing field. The kitchen was well stocked and it was free to use the washing machine (soap powder also provided FOC).

Exceptional Location
Pros:

Location was absolutely perfect with access to everything close by. All the staff were friendly and inviting. Even other guests we met and talked to were super friendly. Loved that there was a pool to relax in. The laundry was a game changer & we left with all our clothes clean.

Cons:

It was a very hot weekend and unfortunately our rooms had no air-conditioning & only had a desk top fan but we didn't let this ruin our stay.

A prime spot to stay when you are after the beach and family fun.
Pros:

We were very fortunate to receive an upgrade to a deluxe room from a standard room which gave us a ton of space. If we'd known how restricted the standard rooms were we'd have seriously considered booking the larger room from the outset, and would do if we were to book again with our baby. Te location is excellent and the views from our room were stunning. There are lots of great places to eat nearby, as well as great parks and the beach which are a very short walk away. The staff were really friendly and only happy to help. We can't wait to return at some point!

Cons:

The toilet didn't seem to flush properly. The buildings appear a little dated from the outside but don't be disillusioned - this is a great place to stay!
