We were very comfortable in our accommodation, the food was very nice and prices good. The breakfast could be improved. For a small cost they could have real coffee, sachet instant is a poor offering. Fruit salad too, not uncut fruit. The staff were very friendly, helpful and efficient.

Photos on the booking page are not an accurate representation of the premises. In reality the “resort” is nothing more than a travellers motel - hence disappointing upon arrival. Having said that, it is a decent and clean motel for a short stay. Friendly staff and free dinner and breakfast are nice bonus.
