This resort is Brilliant!! Great location, about 1.5 km from the main pier, lovely resort and very well maintained. The staff and the owners were a pleasure. The beach is on your doorstep, pool is fab. You can rent bikes here and also they provide a laundry service. A very relaxing resort, watched DVDS some nights with the guests and then they threw warm up parties for the full moon, etc.
