Staff everywhere were amazing and helpful. Plenty of hot water and clean towels. Beach chairs were wonderful. Bus service into town was great. Sometimes had to stand. Kitchen facilities were good. Cons. Safe never worked although kept promising to replace with new versions. Patio doors wouldn’t close ...
