"Good size room for a family of 4. We paid extra for the 3rd adult, but there wasn't enough towels. Asked through their text system and not acknowledgement or response and had to find a cleaning lady along the corridor. I find the name of resort and extra charges is deceiving, as the indoor pool is small and the gym room is ok. But the property is very close to the beach and we could walk to the town."

"Our family enjoyed a long-weekend stay at this property and had a really good time. The facility has much to offer with all kinds of entertainment options, from great tv watching, to the beautiful balcony, hot tub, sauna, pool table, foosball table and dart board, to just sitting in the very comfortable living room enjoying each other's company. We found the neighbourhood to be very quiet, and the backyard has excellent privacy.You can drive to several beach options quite quickly, and we loved being able to walk on the beach for awhile, and then being able to return to the rental in just a few minutes. The kitchen was spacious and well-equipped and we had fun prepping meals together. A great stay overall!"
