Gorgeous spot to stay. Peaceful, in nature and right by a stunning beach. Food was good and staff were really friendly. Would definitely return.

The camp sites were charming, secluded sites in the dune forest. The common gardens lovely, with lots of shady places to hang out- and the views over the ocean magnificent. A lovely location. Friendly helpful areas that made one feel at home
