With friendly, prompt... More

Thank you Evelyn & Rob for making our stay so enjoyable. The room was very clean & tidy and had everything we needed. It was great we didn't even need to hire a car the resort is so close to everything. We will be back and also be telling everyone what a lovely little resort you have.

The room was completely run down. It was also dirty, especially in the bathroom/toilet. If your after comfort and somewhere clean... More

Recently stayed for a week and had a relaxing time. We arrived early morning (office was just opening up then) after a midnight flight and missing luggage. All we wanted to do was shower and sleep.
