The kitchen had a refrigerator, oven and microwave. The cleaning staff could not have been any nicer. They fold their towels in happy ways. This place is a must for vacationers.

Beautiful beach. Sunbeds plentiful. Lovely Brittany looking after everyone. Easy access through pool gate. Smallest hotel room ever. And tiny claustrophobic bathroom. Sparse toiletries.

Nice place to stay for for the price point. Nice pool and hot tub. Pool bar nice to have. Great all day/night coffee. Sparse continental breakfast, but its free. Nice staff. For the price, you should like it.
