“Early season stay”
Stayed in April, so village still opening up. No buffet as small number of guests in hotel, so we were served breakfast to our table, which was fantastic. All staff friendly and helpful. We had a sea view room which had a large walk-in shower. There is a fridge, tv and air-conditioning in the room, but no kettle. Room was comfortable and clean. We have stayed before and will stay again.

“Great location, straight across from the beach.”
Breakfast was fairly basic. Lunch was lovely, especially the choices on offer and the location right at the beach.

Nicely decorated modern small hotel. Good for a couple. Pool access was available at the neighbouring "Gardens" owned by the same family. Good breakfast and a nice dinner available.

“Private beach, wonderful memorable stay, we could not wish for better!”
The location was excellent, right by the beach, we could have even breakfast, lunch or dinner by the beach, excellent service from the friendly staff. Food was exceptional. One can feel the personal touch, they make us welcome all the time, like family! We certainly come back as soon as we can.
