    There are a lot of good things to say about this place. I travelled with 3 children under 12. The place is spacious and the facilities are top tier. There is a roof top pool which the kids love. It has everything you need for a self-catering residence and very child friendly. The view of the harbour was amazing to see every sunrise and sunset and it is walking distance to the beach. And Zama who co-ordinated my stay was really helpful.

    The staff is very friendly and always makes sure you feel at home. The breakfast was very nice and my family enjoyed it very much 😊 My kids love the hotel plus it's child friendly & save as well. The only disadvantage is that the staff makes it so difficult when u need to check out😃. I guarantee you, you'll wanna book another night because of how comfortable they make you stay there🤞😄♥️

    It’s in an ideal location to all the shops and restaurants. We don’t have children but we noticed just how great it was for family vacations with kids based on the facilities and activities they have available.
