Friendly staff and peaceful atmosphere! Kids loved hanging out in the pool/spa. Pool and bbq area was nice, clean and well maintained. Rooms were clean and spacious with everything you could need! Washing machine, dryer, dishwasher, large fridge, utensils, crockery, plastics, and cookware! Felt like home for the stay! Recommended.

Location was quite good, although not actually on the beach. We knew that. Ocean views were as advertised. A very light and airy apartment, with heavy block-out curtains for night time. Overhead fans and aircon, neither of which were necessary in early/mid November. On the negative side, there was an almost complete lack of useful information in the apartment - TV instructions on the back of entry door was it! No books, games, DVDs (although some of those may have been available at reception), no toiletries. Comfortable, but….sparse.
