Tonys Thoughts

lovely area and accommodation but like most European countries they all lack bedroom "furniture". The staff are very efficient and helpful. Food prices a little steep ( but you already know that prior to booking)

Great place for a holiday. Almost 99% guaranteed sunshine all year round. Can get very hot in the summer. I'm here the last week of may & most days it's 29-32c

We have been coming here for almost 20 years & it's just like coming home again each time. The apartments are beautiful. They are kept in pristine condition as are the grounds. Improvements are being made all the time. All of the staff are very friendly & are like a second family. Nothing is too much trouble for them, whatever job they do. They are all very attentive. The food is amazing & the cocktail & wine demonstration sessions are well worth attending. The resort is security controlled & family friendly. The coast is a 10 minute stroll away & is a Coastal Wildlife Reserve. It is beautiful. If you are looking for a peaceful, comfortable & friendly place to stay, then this is it. I highly recommend it.
