“All in all it was lovely, especially for a big group like ours.”
We did not have breakfast at the place we were staying. Initially it was tricky to get to the venue but we managed with GPS.

The family chalet was clean, comfortable and spacious with a beautiful view. The bed was comfy and bathrooms were modern. It was close to the private entrance to the beach side. The property has a nice pool and a playground which the kids enjoyed.

“It’s a very short and safe walk to the beach. The Jacuzzi was clean and easy to pre-book, and all the staff — from the gardeners through to reception — were exceptionally friendly.”
