The family bungalow was very spacious. It accommodated myself and my two adult children comfortably. The whole resort had perfect cleanliness. The location allows access to many affordable food options nearby.

The breakfast was not excellent. The basic cappuccino incurred an extra cost. I found the provision of only three small water bottles per day to be insufficient.
