"It’s a very comfortable space; that is well run. The parking is great; which makes the visit lots more comfortable. There is a great beach right there.

Room size is on the smaller side though and could do with a wardrobe for hanging clothes. I wasn't too fussed about it and would happily stay here again for the overall experience and fab location.

We felt the rooms were small and while this hotel has good rating for couples and a romantic stay I would say the clientele leans more towards families with large group of children present at all meals commons areas and pool area.
