The bungalows are beautiful overlooking a lagoon and then onto towards the ocean. You can hear the sound of the waves at night. Very nice rooms although the chairs weren’t exactly comfortable. Lovely walk down onto the beach. The fountains can be a little noisy at the front but needed to keep mosquitoes away and they don’t go all the time anyway. would definitely stay again

Beautiful outlook and lovely looking bungalows

Lovely peaceful bungalows with beautiful outlook Walk to a couple of restaurants A few breakfast items toaster plates knife’s bowls etc for byo breakie which is wonderful. The only bad thing was it doesn’t cater for the elderly there is nowhere comfortable to sit and eat a meal The deck chairs are way too low and your not able to be out there at night for all the bugs. My solution was to byo camp chair but shouldn’t have to do that.
