Lovely & clean in a great location. However the resort charged my business credit card that I’d used to secure the booking, prior to arrival which was annoying as I’d specified I wanted to pay upon arrival. Neither the resort or the booking site Wotif would take any accountability unsurprisingly.

Nice accomodation close to the beach and town. Comfortable rooms with lots of space and access to a heated pool. Loses one star due to only having a very limited number of plates, cutlery and utensils in the unit which made meals difficult.
