“Great value for money!”
The room was clean and very spacious. It had tea and coffee facilities and bar fridge, plus a lounge, desk and TV in both the main area and bedroom. The room is air conditioned in the main area, and a pedestal fan provided for the bedroom. There were shutters and curtains to help darken the room. The pool area is setup really well with BBQ and fridge, plus toys for the kids. The location is spot on and is walking distance to everything you could need.

“They think of everything, clever comfort!”
Fantastic location, they thought of everything. Gust folder, room service during the week, plenty of towels, extra pillows, coffee maker, mini bar, lift, easy parking. Attention to detail, toiletries included make up remover towelettes. The bed was very comfortable as were the pillows, big bed, sufficient lighting choices. A pool and cute surroundings, a fun vibe for summer, a cafe.
