“Lovely hotel with all you could need for a relaxing easy holiday. We stayed in 2 bedroom apartment for our family of 5. The apartment was perfect. Pool is nice, with games for kids at different times. Ping pong and mini golf were also a hit with our 3 kids. Food at the restaurant was delicious, breakfast and lunch. The service might be a little slow at times but we didn't mind as the kids were able to play while we waited in the sunshine. Caroline and Antonio at reception were particularly friendly and helpful. Location is perfect”

“This was our first time here and will definitely be back. The staff gave us a warm welcome and were very friendly polite and helpful. The apartment was very clean and comfortable with everything you needed. There were plenty of amenities with a lovely restaurant which over looked the pool and prices were very reasonable. There was also a well stocked mini supermarket attached to the apartments. The apartments are in an ideal location for the beach shops restaurants and buses. We have recommended the apartments to our friends as we noticed they cater for autism families and staff have been trained. Would highly recommend and thank you for a lovely stay”

“I had a lovely short stay here as a last minute booking. The hotel staff were so helpful. Please not there are construction works which can at times be loud but the hotel staff kindly showed me what areas I could go that were less disturbed. Apartment was really stylish and lovely - huge bed and a gorgeous balcony.”
