The owners were amazing. When we arrived they had made up our room with a porta cot for our infant and helped us carry up our baggage. The following day as we were planning to leave via taxi they offered us a lift to pick up our hire car from the airport! Very kind, accomodating and welcoming staff. Room was big and had everything we could need. Location was convenient to the airport and to the beach/food. Would stay again and recommend to all.
