Greg, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Loved that we could support 100% local staying here and all the staff were friendly and attentive. It was also so quiet even though there were many people staying! Felt like we were staying in a wee village vs a hotel resort which was perfect for us. Good food, clean newsish rooms (including the best hotel bed and pillow I've ever had) and great beach access for flicking between the pool and the ocean!
