Requested thinner pillows as too thick for our necks. They did not have any thinner pillows so we had to do without pillows. Great restaurant beside hotel.

A pleasant stay
Our two bedroom apartment was perfect for our needs, travelling with two teens and one younger child. It was great to have the spacious lounge area to relax in. Everything in the kitchen and bathroom was in full working order. The pool area was also a nice place to spend an hour or two and you could buy drinks from the bar and take them back to your sunbeds. A little bit further out of town but this wasn't a problem for us and we enjoyed the peace and quiet.
