We really enjoy our stay. Watching the sunset on the beach was beautiful. The staff were very helpful and very friendly. Our only issue was with the restaurant on site the food was honestly terrible and I’m not a picky eater but I’m paying a lot of money as the restaurant was expensive I would expect the food to be decent. I would recommend eating elsewhere. But otherwise everything was amazing.

It was awesome to get away for a while. I thought i had organised a late check out, appears that a missed communication somewhere made me scramble a little because they needed the room. Little bump in the roaf, otherwise everything else was awesome.
