We had an absolutely amazing stay! The accommodation was luxurious yet affordable, providing plenty of space and comfort. The beach was just across the road, and the hosts were incredibly welcoming. Although we faced some building noise and couldn't use the pool, our overall experience was fantastic. I highly recommend this place, but consider cooking your own meals instead of dining out.

I had a wonderful stay at this resort! The location is just a stone's throw from the beach, and the spacious apartments were very well-equipped, making for a comfortable experience. The only downside was the ongoing construction work, which kept us from enjoying the pool, and the absence of breakfast options. However, the overall value for money and the friendly host made it a delightful trip.

We had an unforgettable stay at this resort! The apartment was immaculate, spacious, and fully equipped with all the modern amenities we needed. The pool was fantastic, especially in the hot weather, and the beach was just a short walk away across the road. Louise and Peter, the managers, went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable. The only downside was that our stay wasn’t long enough—we'll definitely be returning!

Our stay at Ocean Breeze Resort was incredibly enjoyable! The hosts were welcoming, and the apartment we stayed in was immaculate and well-equipped. The beach was just a short walk away, which made it super convenient. Although we could not dine at The Local due to our experience there being lackluster, the option to use the private BBQ on our patio was excellent. It's a shame we couldn't enjoy the pool due to ongoing construction, but overall, the resort offered great value for money.
