Comfortable but a little tight
Comfortable stay. Breakfast closes at 10.30 and there is no flexibility on this if you show up on the last minute.

Not so family friendly
Our stay was ok. The restaurant was closed when we arrived which made it difficult for us to find a place to eat at 3pm. Also, my daughter who is 14 years old was kicked out of the gym in a very awful and rude way. I was with my daughter at the time and she wasn’t doing anything wrong except being under 16. It was a rainy day and we exhausted all the activities and games we had and decided to walk on the treadmill (apparently it was strictly not allowed).

Nice and quiet. 10 min walk to Whites Beach.
Restaurant was great - very spacious and moderately priced. Food was top class.
