Excellent stay, plenty of pools to relax at. The rooms were a great size with a large variety of channels on the TV including Sky Sports. Kitchen was well equipped, the beds were comfortable and the air conditioning was very good in the bedroom and the living room. If you wanted to unwind then everything on site Including Spar so you don't have to move.
