I made a mistake booking and had the option of either losing my money or booking a new room somewhere else for a family member since they couldn’t accommodate them. It was partially my fault but the way the situation was handled was very mean business style. I would’ve expected them to be a bit more nice or considerate. Even the main manger that was their stated that their isn’t anything else she can talk to me about so I should stop talking. The place is nice though and close to the beach and clean. All the other staff where friendly. ##### Mary-ann Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hsuao 31 Aug 2024 Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Property was much bigger than expected.
