Family who own the hotel are delightful with 2 small children of their own. Our 3 year old loved them and was constantly playing with them round the lovely gardens. Pool was fantastic too - and a lovely temperature despite it being May...
A lovely family run holiday set up. Close to beach, shops and restaurants, all within a 5 minute walk.

What made it for us was the very friendly family, who run the complex. The were very good hosts and were always available to help with anything we required...
