User reviews
"The beach is situated in a stunning location and is kept clean and well-maintained. The staff is friendly and polite. However, it would be beneficial to have signs indicating the location of water points. We observed a concerning hygiene problem where toilet cassettes were being rinsed from drinking water taps."
