Fantastic setting and lovely accommodation
Fabulous setting with easy access to beach, local saltwater swimming pool and aquarium all within 200 metres. The kitchen is small with hob, microwave, fridge-freezer, kettle, coffee maker, toaster and dishwasher (no oven or grill). Plenty of crockery and cutlery in excellent condition and an assortment of pans. Bedding provided in sealed packages, beds very comfortable and clean. We had 2 bathrooms, one with shower and one with bath. Lovely playground on-site. There is plenty of storage space and TVs built into the wardrobes in each of the bedrooms. Reception staff were very helpful. There is a kids' club available for children 3 and over through the days (not Wednesdays) and a half-hour entertainment slot in the early evening (we went to the clown spectacular which was great for under five's and carried through despite language differences). We did not use the breakfast or dining facilities as we felt they were a little expensive. There are local cafes and restaurants around closeby as alternatives. Lovely market on a Monday which is well worth a visit. The beaches all around are fantastic with enormous granite boulders the kids loved to scramble up. Quite a few local attractions within a walk, or a short drive if you are stuck with bad weather. On a sunny day you wouldn't want to go anywhere else as this place is just beautiful!
