Since having children, I've never been happier with a place to stay as we have here. Great value for money (we stayed in a two bedroom apartment), nice pool area, so close and easy walking to three supermarkets, local food spots, and shops. The room was well cleaned, and friendly staff. Great vibes...we weren't bothered at all from the current renovations of the bar and restaurant...will definitely be staying again 😀😀
