Everything! The staff was super friendly and the service provided was good, the water in the pools was just the right temperature, the natural environment was beautiful, the food at the Thirsty Flamingo was delicious, and the bed was so comfortable we almost didn’t get out of it. I haven’t slept so good in a loooong time. Don’t mind a bit of a slow wifi, because you won’t be needing it 😁.

    The location was close to the city centre and esplanade. Although the apartment block was aged, our apartment had been recently updated with new furniture and a renovated kitchen and bathroom. The bed was very comfortable.
