8.6/10 Excellent! (510 reviews)

Really enjoyed the stay, room was lovely and the shower was incredible. Buffet breakfast was really good, buffet dinner not so good. One lifeguard seemed to really hate English people and often told off the children for playing with a ball or jumping in. Overall a nice stay and would go again.

Beautifully presented complex with immaculate grounds and apartment. The accommodation was very spacious and it felt like we were the first people to stay in the apartment, it was pristine! Really friendly and helpful staff.

Today I walked. And walked. And walked. Until I could walk no more. Then I sat down and watched the surfers catch a wave. I listened to music.

Whatever I did - i was fully present. I was there. Nowhere else. Coz all we ever have and all we will ever have is this present moment.

Everything else is an illusion.

Everything has passed. The rest will follow. But right now: this is all I have.
