Relaxing location

The lovely lady I spoke to when I checked in was very welcoming, warm and friendly. The accomodation was comfortable, clean and had the amenities that we needed. The location is amazing and I slept so well with the sound of the waves lapping on the beach. Would definitely recommend.
