Location. Friendly Staff. Ammenties were clean and had all of ther requirements for our stay. Liked the bar fridge in the room. Enjoyed the pool and the close proximity to the beach. The bus stop is very close to get to other parts of the island.

Sarah Australia

I enjoyed everything about it from our arrival to our departure. We arrived extra early and our room was ready so staff let us into our room. The staff are super great ! Friendly and helpful. Loved the facilities of the camp kitchen, awesome showers and toilets are always clean. Just super awesome ! We plan on coming back next year to camp as we stayed in the bungalow this time around as my darling and I had a little getaway without the kids.

The “penthouse suite” only 2 of these rooms on the property, please do yourselves a favour and treat yourself to this room, just a perfect little hideaway. Best value for money too. We will definitely be coming back
