The place was clean, modern and spacious for a family of 4. The self check in made things even more convenient.

Lovely beachside unit
We stayed in the Sand Dune unit. Lovely unit on beach front. Not at all noisy though you can slightly hear the neighbouring unit. Great to sit on the balcony and watch the world go by and enjoy the sound of the surf. Only stayed one night but would have loved to be able to stay longer.
Ate dinner and breakfast at the Esplanade restaurant - very authentic Italian food, would highly recommend.
