Very small bathroom & shower

Check in was very quick. We asked fro a ground floor unit and they changed it for us. Once in the unit, it was fine but there were no blinds on front kitchen window and the bathroom was extremely small. The stove was hard to operate and we never figured out the wash machine. The entire property was clean but dated and the hotel next door was under a complete reno. Staff at the property were very courteous but very limited English.

Nice lodging units. We got upgraded to a 2 bedroom unit. The exteriors looks amazing. The interiors are awesome. The kitchen had everything you need, including a dishwasher and a washing machine. The pool looked amazing. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Many people were in resort for long stay and repeated customers. They had their own restaurant but were not far away from downtown full of restaurants and shopping.

Overall very good atmosphere around the pool and bar. Very kid friendly! Beds are uncomfortable and the cleanliness of the room was poor.

We stayed as a family of 5 for a night in transit to Spain. The property is a clean, lovely and quite well maintained. The washroom and kitchen are a little dated but well kept. Lots of restaurants within a few min drive. Beach is a 10 min walk. Ocean view was lovely. We enjoyed the stay.

Very average accommodation

Basic hotel accommodation but well located. Our room required some maintenance during our 4 day stay. Took two requests to have these items corrected. Beds were hard. Wifi worked well. This was our second time staying at this facility but we won’t stay again. Not well managed in my opinion.

This property suited us perfectly. It was in easy driving distance to some of the coastal highlights, the restaurant food was excellent and it was in a quiet neighbourhood away from the busy downtown core.

This property is good value for money. The 2 bedroom units have kitchens with washing machines, there is cable TV, access to a pool and tennis courts. The restaurant serves excellent food. It is owned by a husband and wife who love good cuisine.

Great and enjoyable complex resort.

Great place to stay. Although we stayed for one night, rooms would be very convenient for long stays as they are small apartments with basic kitchen. A free water bottle in room was appreciated.. 🙂 Restaurant on-site is open every day, breakfast although wasn’t included in room rate, was inexpensive as buffet for 9.5€ Spacious Pool area and bar very convenient. Near town makes it convenient for shopping. We really liked this complex and would come back. Only down, was WIFI didn’t work.. but wasn’t an issue as we only stayed for one night.
