This is the best holiday destination for family.. everything was amazing and the staff were very kind and always ready to help. The ladies at the reception were just great❤️. We will definitely go back there. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a good serene family gateway 👌. Some of the most outstanding. 1. The dj mix on Friday evening and the games.. I played volleyball 😁 2. The white sandy beach extending From the property.. The view is breathtaking 👌 3. The food at the restaurant was nice and affordable. 4. The swimming pool 5.

The location was excellent, great for relaxing with the ocean view. Nice walks across the beach too. The staff were nice and welcoming and made you feel at home.

the hotel is directly at the beach, the area is beautiful and very nice. the snorkeling agency is next to the hotel and highly recommended 😊 the staff was nice and the breakfast was delicious - but you have to take care that the monkeys won’t steal it the bungalows were exactly as described

The breakfast was amazing. I have coeliac disease and was worried I wouldn't find enough I was able to eat so I waited until I saw it before ordering. We had it every day. It was a buffet and the menu changed every day. It was nutritious and delicious. The breakfast was maybe my favourite aspect of th eplace.

Located right on the beach. Very friendly and helpful staff. Good value for money. There is a kitchen and fridge for everyone to use if one wants to cook your own food.
