"Nice house in a cozy, quiet village. We were a large family with visitors from 5 to 84 years old. Lovely to have walking distance to the beach, restaurants, and shops. The bathrooms showed some signs of needing renovation, but were clean and fairly functional. Nice outdoor areas that especially the youngest and the oldest appreciated. Can be recommended."

"This was my second solo week at this hotel and I was more than happy with my return visit. The hotel is spacious and welcoming with very well kept gardens. The room I had was again spacious and clean. The food is incredible with many different things to try at each meal; this was one of the main attractions luring me back to the hotel from last year! The pool is clean and family friendly without being too loud. The staff are very friendly without being ‘in your face’ which I found perfect. The road train down to the beach is a lovely trip where you can see avocados growing on the trees as well as typical citrus fruit of the region."
