Excellent Family-Friendly Stay

well-kept poolsfriendly stafffun experiencebeach erosion
i found the pools were well kept and great for kids. the staff was friendly and helpful throughout my stay. waking up to monkeys on the balcony was definitely a fun experience (the kids especially loved it).
I noticed the beach has experienced erosion. It's not quite the same as before with a messy slope to the sea, and i smelled petrol near the shores, a bit off-putting.
