Friendly professional staff. And a great breakaway for all ages. We’ll definitely be back
Pros:

I love the proximity to the beach and having the option for meals coupled with self catering

The kids felt safe and free to explore and head off to the beach on their own

Cons:

It would be nice to have more play options for the kids. And a games room was set up on one of the rainy days which was great.

The internet connection in our unit was poor
