Great apartment with full kitchen. Very nicely decorated and across from the beach. Highly recommend! And restaurants nearby were outstanding (Cabana and The Lical).

Fantastic location and lovely hosts. There is some maintenance work underway in the central courtyard ahead of summer but it didn’t affect our stay at all.

While checking-in we meet a very organised host, we had a run down of all the rule of entry. About a 10 min conversation.
Once over that the rooms and stay was fantastic.

Nice clean safe high quality place with excellent location. Across the park to the beach. Has all creature comforts for stay like washer dryer, dish washer, microwave. Pool on the small side but ok for kids.

Fantastic apartment with great heated pool.
Our apartment was fantastic, really comfortable with everything we could need. The complex was beautifully maintained and the managers very helpful and pleasant. We especially enjoyed the fantastic heated pool and spa. The heated pool meant that we could swim at any time and be comfortable and was a real highlight of our stay.

Really impressed with the property and amenities it is fairly modern and spacious and not to mention Peter's excellent customer service. I will definitely book again and would happily recommend Ocean Breeze Resort to my friends and family.
Good location, clean place but too many rules! Upon arriving we were instructed that we had to take the rubbish out, had to do our dishes had to be out strictly at 10am. No visitors in the pool, spa for only 30mins max, no lying or sleeping on the couch, no we couldn’t have an extra cot for our child’s friend to stay. Despite paying and staying 2 nights we were informed we only get 1 days dish detergent and washing machine powder and it turned out this went for toilet rolls as well so bring these if you don’t want to have to pay extra. Great location, nice apartment but wake up extra early on check out day because the manager will be in your apartment just after 10am making you feel like you have committed a crime for being slightly late.

Very clean and very comfortable.
I stayed 3 nights for 4 days.
It was very clean and very comfortable.
The garage was underground parking. so I didn't get wet when it was raining. And my parking spot was huge.
I defiantly come back to stay again.

We had a fantastic time staying in a 3 bedroom apartment at Ocean Breeze Resort. Great pool/spa for all the family to enjoy. Apartment was spacious and very well equipped. We had ample parking space with lots of room for our bikes. Would definitely recommend and looking forward to returning.

The property was very spacious, walking distance to the beach.
Well maintained with all that you would require. Had private parking underneath the property which was secure.
Connection to WiFi was poor.
Exceptionnel, très bon accueil et gérants très sympathiques. Chambre spacieuse, confortable, très bien aménagé, décorée et équipée. Piscine et jacuzzi et parking sécurisé.

Spacieux, c'est un condo une chambre. Situé dans un quartier résidentiel, c'est loin de tous les services, restaurant, épicerie...
Parfait pour la plage, mais pas pour les visites touristiques.
It was a wonderful place to stay. The hosts were fantastic and very friendly and helpful. The location was ideal for the local area as well as for access to the whole region
