Staff was very friendly and helpful. The cabin itself needed a serious deep clean and a lot of cosmetic work. I've also stayed in the regular rooms and found them to be in better shape.

This is our second time at this property. It’s convenient reasonably priced and close to the beach. The pool is decent however they need more chairs. My one big disappointment is that we paid for an upgrade for a queen bed and it was barely a full and when I asked about it I was told that it was a queen. We have a queen bed and that was definitely not a queen. We will stay here again. I might just inquire again about the queen bed.

In the room we found some mini red spiders near the beds, plus other bigger ones in the top corner or the walls. Some spider web in the walls too. Not dangerous one but kids and wife were not feeling comfortable with that issue .
Room was not extra clean too.
Great parking , and at 6-7 minute of old orchard .

The guys were very kind. Easy check-in. The microwave was broken and i asked them to replace, they didi not. The next day, i showed them the broken microwave and they replaced it. Don't expect a coffee maker or a boiler or glasses to heat water in the microwave. The AC is very loud and the beds are not comfortable (for me). One of the bed sheets was torn off due to cigarette burning i guess and three of the electrical receptacles were loose. Expect to find the parking spot infront of the room to be taken by others. 5 minutes drive to the beach and 2 minutes to some food markets and restaurants.
