Excellent location - just off main street so quiet but only 2mins to bars and beach. Lovely swimming pool with palm tree shade just by restaurant. Excellent breakfast included Very friendly and helpful staff.

Ian United Kingdom

Location was really good. In the town, but away from any noise. Lovely quiet bungalow. Room was maybe a bit on the small side, but enough, and bigger rooms available if needed. Hammock outside the room was great and we had more than 40 wi ks in that. Staff and owners very friendly and always had time to talk, free spanish lessons from Steve at breakfast, bonus.

The venue is perfectly placed, small walk to the beach and other amenities. The staff was very helpful and full of fun. The food was amazing breakfast and dinner. Thanks to all the team for our three days with you.
