We stayed here for a night with our children. The room was clean and comfortable, the kitchen and communal spaces were inviting and well set out. We didn’t swim in the pool because of our short stay, much to our kids dismay but it looked beautiful. Walking distance to shops, restaurants, beach and all for a very reasonable price. Would recommend. Would come back.

I had a private room, very modern bathroom and spacious. Bed was ok and couldn’t control temperature of the room so opened a window. I had a large spider crawl in and made its way to the ceiling so fly wire would be a good idea. I also got bitten by a mosquito so my last night there I didn’t sleep well because of the visiting insects.

Friendly staff and good facilities. The bed was super comfy, and we slept well! The ventilation in the room unfortunately wasn't great, and having the window locked meant we couldn’t get fresh air in. Overall it was good value and convenient though, and we would stay again!
