Spacious and family friendly

We had a lovely stay with our kids. The shared pool was never too busy, and the villa had everything we needed. Bedrooms were comfortable, kitchen was well-equipped, and the beach was just a short walk away.

Liked: Location
Villa was very spacious and had a nice outside area. The proximity to the beach was very good which was a priority for us.The inside of the unit was not as well cared for as the pictures showed, and the pools right outside of the unit were empty and non-operational which was not attractive.

Nice house in great location

Nice setup and plenty of room inside. Shared pool was perfect for our kids and the nearby supermarket delivered groceries which helped a lot. Only 40 min drive from airport too which was great

Ideal for our group

There was plenty of space for all six of us. Clean, cool, and close to shops and the beach. The living area was a comfortable place to unwind after a day in the sun. Would absolutely stay again.

Good value for money

Nicely located and great for families. Enjoyed the garden and quiet surroundings. Shared pool was large and clean. Only thing missing was some extra shade on the terrace during the afternoon.
