Great but need to allow food and drink around pool
Lovely stay - great location and quiet too. Apartment was clean and spacious with lovely balcony. Only negative was being told off for sharing a bottle of wine around the large pool area (you can do this but not your own drink, you had to buy from them). Strange concept for a self catering resort. Even stranger when half of their wine menu wasn’t available!

The apartment was perfect and very comfortable. Very clean and organized with everything you coukd need. One minor thing to note is that there were two twin beds, not three as described. The foldable bed was added and was comfortable.
