"We spent 2 wonderful nights at this delightful property. Right on the beach with fantastic rooms and lots included in the price. Warm and friendly owners and this extends to all the staff. Even though the weather wasn't great, it was lovely enough for us to take a long walk along the pristine beach, watching dolphins in the surf. We loved it so much we have booked to stay again for 5 nights later this year - that should show how much we enjoyed it - and we can't wait to return."
