Our group of 10 adults absolutely enjoyed our week.

All the staff were very helpful, even organising a birthday cake for one of our group. Situated right on the beach was amazing & the water was just perfect.
The only negative was the night flight from Sydney, impossible to sleep & then go back 21 hours !!!
