Lovely friendly staff, the room had a lovely deck that was sheltered and right on the beach, cooking facilities were handy, good pressure on the shower. The bed wasn’t that comfortable and the pillows weren’t that good and smelt musty. Overall we had a lovely stay at this property, it’s not over crowed and very relaxed.
