"The pool was really good. Our room was a little tired and not very private when sitting outside. There was a bit of noise from the laundry/bin area right behind our unit, with washing machines and dryer going often during the night. Most of the staff were very friendly. We had a poolside room, if we go back we will try to book an Oceanside room, they seemed to be quieter and have been updated. In general we enjoyed our stay."

"Wonderful stay and fantastic for our family group of 10. We loved the pool and the outdoor area and the location. We also loved watching the plans arrive and depart. House was lovely however some fittings need attention ie tap in ensuite, some mattresses upstairs may need updating and some amenities listed were not available ie beach towels and hair dryer. We all loved the house and had a great time."
