This hotel was out of this world. Apart from being no safe in the room, they had thought of everything. There was an indoor pool which made the stay a lot better, we love a swim. It was never occupied when we went down for a dip. Breakfast was very nice, plenty to choose from. All the staff were very polite and helpful.

Not only is the location the absolute best for a beat vacation but the staff that work here really make the difference. I feel like they are my friends at this point. Always so kind they really go the extra mile to make sure that your stay is special. This is by far my favorite place on the beach and I consider it my home away from home. Thank you to the entire amazing team.
