"The location is excellent. The reception staff provided friendly and professional service. The room was clean. We did not utilize the washing machine due to the presence of mold and an unpleasant odor, and the dryer appeared to be soiled internally. The kitchen was fully equipped with essential daily-use kitchenware."
"Wouldn't rate 5star at all
Was expecting more
But overall was a good place to stay, breakfast was meh
Had a great view,spa was relaxing
Staff were very helpful and respectful"
"We arrived just before sunset and we were greeted by a beautiful sunset. Our cabin was on absolute beach frontage so the view was unobstructed. We poured ourselves a glass of wine and sat on the deck having a relaxing evening. The kitchen area had all the necessary items to prepare a meal but all cooking had to be done in the common kitchen, just behind us. We loved it so much we stayed an extra night and the receptionist offered us a favourable discount for the second night."
"Great location to explore NP and beautifully appointed. Loved the access to the gym around the corner. I thought it might be noisy being so central but didn’t hear a peep. Hope to return. "
