The location, overlooking Catseye Beach, was perfect for us. The beach was a short walk away, and there were nearby restaurants, buggy hire and souvenir shop. The room was clean, spacious and well-equipped. The staff were friendly and helpful. Stayed 7 night s there and would happily go back.

Good room, nice and clean. House cleaning arrived at 8am which seemed really early and the pool isn’t on site which is a bit of a shame.
