"The view was what made our stay but the lack of cleanliness and old furniture was not a feel good."

5.0

The view was very very nice from the corner studio.

It was very old and needed updating in many ways. The wood deck was broken and nails sticking up. The furniture was old and needs to replaced. It was t fully cleaned. There was crumbs under appliances when moved and dust on chairs and in bathroom dome. It needs a deep clean.

"Wonderful views and a lovely pool"

9.0

Good value accomodation in a great location with amazing views. Lovely pool. Although the accomodation is dated it was clean and the owners are clearly motivated to provide a good holiday experience

A refresh of the accomodation would enhance the experience...but akso command a higher price!!

Location great amazing veiws

The place is definitely dated, needs a complete refurbish. Our room smelt like dead ants. Deck chairs outside all broken. Shower water pressure worst I've ever seen. Definitely not worth what we paid
