We had a great stay. The unit has everything you need and the view over the main lagoon pool was spectacular! Both bedrooms were a good size and the beds were comfortable. Restaurants and a mini supermarket were a 2 minute walk away.
The rooms were clean and very well stocked with everything we needed. The view over the pool and beyond to the ocean is delightful. Communication with the host was excellent. Highly recommend this accommodation.
Great place & great host, who left us come little treats. Apartment was really well equipped & location was perfect. Would definitely like to stay again.

Lovely 2 bed 2 bathroom apartment with well-equippws kitchen. Balconies overlook the pool area and are large enough to relax on. A short walk to the beach and for a morning coffee. We enjoyed our short stay and would happily return.

Homely and inviting with lots of thoughtful touches
The minute we walked in it felt like a home, not a hotel room. Everything needed was catered for, including some thoughtful snacks and fruit for the kids. Very comfy bed and clean and tidy. The room itself is ideally located in the resort with a great view over the pool. Owner was amazing to deal with. Will definitely recommend and stay again!
We love this property and stayed in a number of different rooms. This is the only one that has provided grocery essentials which was a lovely touch & very convenient. We probably prefer the layout of some of the other rooms, but the view of the pool & proximity (which you pay a little more for) are definite winners here.
Thanks for a wonderful family holiday:)
This apartment was exactly as described. We were greeted by our host who gave us the keys. She was so lovely and friendly. The apartment had an excellent view and was well stocked with everything we needed for our stay. There was a fruit platter and treats for the kids, which was a lovely touch. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this unit.
This place was amazing. The location at Salt was perfect. Has everything you could need within the resort or close by. Boutique shops, fantastic restaurants, great pub. And the unit itself was awesome. Very tidy. Wonderful view. And great owners who provided treats for our kids as well as extra amenities that the resort operated rooms don’t get. Will definitely be back.
Absolutely wonderful place to stay. The unit has everything you could need including a great view. Owners are lovely and communicated with us at every stage as we were coming during the floods. Super comfy beds and lounge. My friend and I were looking for a nice quiet place to stay to celebrate our birthdays and this fit the bill perfectly. The coffee shops and rest are good and close. We will definitely be back again. Thanks so much. Xx
Beautiful apartment. Love how there was treats in the fridge for kids, beach toys to play with and amazing fruit platter on arrival. Communication with owner was great as well.
