Liked: The staff spoke good English and were very helpful. Beach was nice once you got there lots of information at the beach about the area
Disliked: When we got there it was cash only which wasn’t specified at the time of booking. Pool was closed as was the Cafe/bar. Most of the female toilets were out of order and the ones open were dirty. Was a 25 min walk to the beach. Would not book here again.

From the manager: Thank you for your comments, we are committed to remedying this situation and providing you with the services you are entitled to expect from us. however we inform you that the toilets are regularly cleaned and disinfected every day. closing women's toilets during this period allows our teams to better concentrate on the cleanliness of mixed toilets
Pitch up shouldn't be advertising this site until it has been cleaned

Liked: Nothink
Disliked: The site is dirty and not maintained most of the toilets weren't working swimming pool closed restaurant closed pitches were very stoney grass not cut. Not sure about the 2 x devils which greet you that are hung in the trees. The owner has bought new cabins but would have been better cleaning site up and installing new shower block
