Everything we needed for s short business stay, especially the Asian Fusion restaurant next door. With 3 of us it is a little cramped, but its only 2 days and we are exhibiting at the Laudholm Festival, so not in the room except to sleep.

In Reality Drakes Resort is for who is on holiday I was there for work so I would say if I was on holiday perfect but for who is working, Internet in the room didn't work, Air con very noisy but all is forgiven because the people running the resort are amazing and will try to resolve anything you need. Price quality maybe a little high.

Very cute, clean , quite and well maintained spot. And very dog friendly. Modest spot but all the amenities you’d need. I’d highly recommend and I would return if I visit the area again.

Just stayed 1 night with our dog. We were limited by our dog as to which room we could pick. The dog fee is very reasonable, stayed at other places in the area and they over charge for the pet fee. It did the trick for what we needed. Room was very clean, bed was comfortable. Small refrigerator and microwave. It’s an easy drive to anywhere in the area. I do recommend.

We were super happy and impressed with how fast they had our room ready. We received a text at 10:30 in the morning that our room was ready and it was super clean and all around nice. We will definitely be back.

Good value for the money
Nice little studio type place. Very quiet at night, close to shopping and some restaurants. No place to walk nearby was a drawback for me

Friendly place for pets, although limited areas for pets to relieve themselves. If other pets then need to share and sometimes may be an issue depending on your pet or others. Convenience to surrounding areas like beaches and restaurants

Very clean place
Very nice clean space. Bathroom very very small. No room to put things on the sink and shower was tiny. A little expensive for the space. But the people are very nice and they have a club house room with
Pool table and a pool. We did not use because we were only there one night.
