Amazing location! Staff were friendly and helpful wherever I went on the property. Room was really big, so had more than enough space. The room and bathroom were both impeccably clean, and the air con was a blessing! The beach was just down a few steps from the pool/restaurant. The local bus, both directions, stops right at reception.

great breakfast options for guests, large rooms, friendly staff. Kids club for the little ones, a bus service that comes by every 1/2 hour, on Island time, so sometimes late. Loved the location so close to the town and airport. We would stay again.
