9.2/10 Wonderful! (1,000 reviews)
"The location was lovely with access with sea and pool. Food at beach bar was terrible and overpriced. Drinks were also overpriced but I guess due to location. Great free shuttle service in to town which was nice and assessable. Overall don’t need more than 2-3 days."
