Good choice for a short stay
The staff at reception are warm and friendly. The room was a reasonable size but could have done with a little tlc. There wasn't really anywhere to hang or store clothes and the little ants ocassionally made their way onto the bed. The pool and grounds were pretty and it was a stone's throw from a gorgeous beach. We tried the 2 closest restaurants and both were good and had entertainment at the weekend.

Noisy accommodation
Good accommodation but not a ‘villa’ and quite a dark apartment. Primary problem was development noise (hammering / drilling) next door stopped us sitting outside or using the pool. Also the gardener was using a leaf blower whilst we were at the pool - too much noise - we had to leave the pool - give him a broom !!
