The property is an ideal spot for people who don’t want to be in the busiest spot but also not far away from other amenities.

This is my second time staying here. The rooms and hotel in general is very clean. I would rate it 5 stars but when it comes to eating outside, it’s very difficult because of the amount of flies.

It was a great place to stay at. Perfect views and attentive staff. I would give this place a 5 star. However, our booking for changed when we arrived. We wanted a cottage (we had 2 kids and booked a cottage) but instead got 2 separate rooms. While this looks in the face value as an upgrade, it was to the detriment of our family union and stay together. Other than that, it was a great place to stay and I'd stay here again!
