Kelly and all the staff were fantastic and there's a lovely cat 🐈 Mee Mee

Great stay in a nice and quiet hotel.

Absolutely beautiful place, lovely welcome by staff who could not have done more to make us feel at home. The grounds are well kept and the pool areas are stunning. Our room (Nesto suite) was large and comfortable. Would definitely return!

Excellent property, great value for money. Room was spacious and clean with good AC. Pools were great size and clean also

Value for money definitely. A 1 minute walk to the beach. Staff very pleasant. Swimming pool quite and child friendly if you have kids.
