Affordable beach front stay
For such a large complex it never felt overcrowded.
The restaurant below has a great menu and live entertainment on set nights.
Staff were friendly and efficient.
Full size fridge and cooking facilities in room were good. Not the most modern or chic place, but very clean and affordable.

Nice apts fully equipped. The towels and pillows are a little tired, but clean and great location. Expedia has 2 options, do not use c3 Cowrie as that's not thru the front desk. Also, breakfast is not included, restaurant is now separately owned. All units have AC and works good.

trivselresa
Mycket dålig kvalite på pool vatten. Väldigt smutsig strand,på nio dagar var jag där inte en enda gång kunde jag se städning på stranden trots Att jag var in på receptionen och klagade på, inga mygg net fanns på rummet och inga mygg medel att sperayya . Blev mygg biten med infektion risk.

Bästa strandläget
Fantastisk personal, trevlig stämning över lag, läget är fantastiskt, lugnt och behagligt för den som önskar varva ner. Saknar viss köksutrustning.
