Louise Australia

Loved the staff - it was like I had my own personal travel agent. Extremely helpful and made my experience top notch.

Danielle United States of America

Apartments, so buy and cook your own food. Great pool view from either pool (2 pools onsite). Easy access, parking available. Reception service fantastic. On-site Spa is amazing, had lots of treatments there, really must try out the spa treatment, especially the 'travel legs' treatment. Would return and recommend. Very close to shops and restaurants, left and left again to go to Marina, or left from property and straight ahead for shops (turn right for beach). Make sure you arrive in time for the Markets on Sunday, well worth it, and if you can buy your fresh fruit there, even better. Lots of things to try and I personally love the shops, more boutique style shops. Restaurants are also great.
