    Very good
    I needed a quiet getaway alone and I managed to get that. The staffs are helpful and polite. I will.
    Is a self catering room so I like the freedom of being able to cook what I like. I like the fact that it was the room was spacious and the double bed has electric blanket, hot water for shower.
    Bed should be checked for sand before guest check in. Rooms should be far from swimming pools especially Rm1. Had dinner at restaurant but spinach was over cooked.
