Location, location, location

As advertised the location was absolute 5 star beachfront. Unfortunately for a large group of adult friends (the booking allowed being 16) there were quite a few limitations. Only 8 dining chairs and limited outdoor furniture to make the most of the beautiful setting. It would be better for a couple of families as to fit 6 adults in each of the bunk rooms was not very comfortable.we moved mattresses around which helped but we for this we couldn’t take advantage of the large games room as there were no curtains or blinds on the west side. The other main issue was the cleanliness and quality of the kitchen equipment was not really up to standard. The agent that handled the booking was helpful after resolving an issue with no one answering several phone calls.

Belated family birthday celebration due to COVID

Area was great, kids loved the house, beach Kitchen lacked a few items - 2 slice toaster for 12 people, very inadequate, lacked paper towel/ tissues/ clog wrap, had to purchase, for price charged, these items should have been supplied
