"The property had all we wanted for our 2 night visit, it was clean, comfortable and in a convenient location for walking access. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The small pool area only has room for two sun beds so you have to be quick or lucky to get one. We were lucky! Overall good value for money."

"They had everything we needed. A clean and nice facility with air conditioning. The pool area is beautiful and the front desk staff were so friendly. The only thing to mention was that we found a few hairs on the pillows and bedding. You also can not adjust the air con, but that wasn’t a problem for us because the setting it was on made the room plenty cool. We enjoyed our stay! "
