This shaded and breezy deck is furnished with comfortable sofa and table and chairs, and is a great spot for sunset dining. Below this deck is the beach area with sun loungers and umbrellas, coconut trees and hammocks, picnic tables, and the "Drift In Drift Out" Beach Bar.

This friendly property offers a selection of accommodation aimed at couples and families. The two duplex beachfront bungalows are absolute beachfront whilst the poolside units, studios and villas are set well back from the beach around the central pool complex.
