Good location, fantastic amenities, the pool and water park are too notch, the beach and national park are stunning. The staff were friendly and hospitable. The glamping tents are a fantastic thing. I will be back, hopefully for longer next time.
We enjoyed our long weekend stay at the resort. The resort is good for family outings as it has waterpark and pool area for kids. The cabin where we stayed is clean and spacious.

The cabin was a bit old, but the staff were friendly, and it was nice to have a beach within walking distance.

Helpful , nice staff. Room clean. Everything you need.
What a fabulous park for families. All new facilities and cabins. The pool and water park were an absolute hit for our kids. The little cafe bar was also fantastic. Staff super friendly and helpful. We will definitely be staying here again. Such a great park!!
The glamping tent no 15 was the best spot! Right near the waterpark, reception and cafe.
Having never stayed in a glamping tent before, I'm blown away at how grounding and relaxing they are and will likely choose this over a cabin any other day!
Love this place!!!
The glamping tent was very comfortable. Enjoyed our stay once we got over the disappointment of the tent not being on or near the beach,as appeared in advert, but facing a big shed.
One of the best stays! The tents are beautiful and the shared facilities are very clean and tidy. Would recommend and stay again! You hear the sea in the night and have just a calm and relaxing stay.
Great location for a young family getaway. Very close to a pristine beach, but the waterpark/pool area was even more appealing to the kids. Quiet (mostly) and pet friendly for those travelling with their furry friend. The plumbed gas Weber BBQ was ideal for an evening meal. Would recommend for couples with children or pets. Baby boomers might find it rather noisy and irritating.
Comfy and safe. The problem was the night noise from neighbors’s cabin. They put an open air cinema with high volume. It was impossible even to talk or watch TV on my place. My small grandson couldn’t sleep.
It is a very remote place but has wonderful staff and nature. I had some issues with the keys but they were fixed right away. If you can provide towels dedicated to the swimming pool, that would be great, at least for guests staying at a cabin, villa, or tent which is not a camping site. Please consider.
