I had a wonderful time at the resort, greeted warmly by Andrew and Donna, who made us feel right at home. The apartment was spacious, clean, and had a lovely view of the ocean. While the dining options could be expanded, especially at their Indian restaurant, we found plenty of great places nearby for meals. The pool area was a delightful spot to unwind after a busy day. Overall, it provided excellent value for the money, but there wasn’t a dishwasher, which didn’t bother us but could surprise others.

I had a wonderful stay at this resort, just a short walk from the beach. The apartments were clean, spacious, and offered lovely views of the water. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, making my experience enjoyable. However, the apartment did have a minor issue with the tumble dryer venting indoors, which was a bit inconvenient. Overall, it was a relaxing getaway, and I would definitely return.

I stumbled upon this hotel while driving and decided to stay for a couple of nights. The location is unbeatable, right across from the beach, and the apartment we stayed in was lovely with a nice view of the pool. Though the service was great, especially from Renata at reception, it would have been nice to have a bit more quiet in the evening. Overall, it was a pleasant stay with a well-kept pool area and good amenities, making it worth the price.

I had an absolutely delightful stay at the resort! The location is superb, right across from the beautiful beach and perfect for enjoying long walks along the esplanade. The apartment was pristine and very comfortable, truly making me feel at home. The staff were warm and welcoming, always going the extra mile. However, there was a bit of road noise due to its central location, which might bother some people. Overall, I highly recommend this place for a relaxing getaway.
