Great property, only critism is no detail on how to book a pool slot time, although wasnt an issue as we booked a 2nd property for inlaws and we recieved the information through other booking source. If visiting with small kids who may roll out of bed recomend bringing a bed side guard, travel cot/highcair was available in property.
