Pros: Staff were real friendly. Something was broken in the room (water and tear) but it was replaced within an hour of notifying staff.
Cons: Only criticism is housekeeping could be better. There was something spilt on the floor and wasn’t mopped up when we arrived.
Location: Beaches are close. There’s even a community pool 2 minutes down the road. KFC next door.
Great staff, real friendly. Great value for money.
