The cottage was easy to locate and easy to access. Everything was very clean. The entire complex is a hidden gem. The beach is just across the street, plenty of places to eat within walking distance. We loved it so much we rebooked before we left.

All You Need

Great location and very clean little cottage! Our only complaints were that we didn’t always have hot water (the manger said it was probably due to the staff doing laundry), no tv in the bedroom, and the heated pool was ice cold. But it was an overall nice stay.
