Travelled with partner
Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Room was spotless, staff were great especially Rosie and the manager Megan. Location is great, it is set in a quieter part of the island which we loved, the pool is right near the beach so you can enjoy both at once, there is parking if you rent a car and the room are private and really well designed.
