Home Away from Home
Pros:

Location was fantastic. Plenty of cafes and bars to take care of meals, and drinks. Just across the road from the water. Daily walk is easy to follow the pathways. Room with a sea view was very comfortable, air conditioned, plenty of space. Bedding was good. The manager was so kind and compassionate and went out of her way to help us. Staff were friendly..

Cons:

Our stay was too short. We could not fault this place.
