Faultless

Often you get what you get pay for and when you travel with your family, saving a penny and finding something suitable is the challenge! Athenree was 100% value for money, family friendly, way better than expected and clean as a whistle. Hot pools were great, beautiful walks and even a stingray to watch in the water with my morning coffee. Definitely one of the better, if not best places we have stayed, spotless and friendly and some pleasantly surprising and innovative little add on's and in's.
