Lovely clean room, great room facilities- great shower! Bed so comfortable and pillows to sink into! Staff very courteous, very helpful, and polite. At breakfast there’s everything you might wish for. Views from room were filled with palm tree tops and pools. Hotel is no more than 400m from a great sandy beach accessed by boardwalk over great sand dune flora!

It was early in the season. Some facilies were not ready due to improvements being implemented. Buffet dining was a little disappointing. While there was a good variety, the food was often cold for some reason. Spa was average but a little pricey. Overall a very good experience and value for money.
