Valida per un relax . Buona per un riposo , accesso al mare problematico. Hanno fatto dei lavori di ripristino durante la nostra permanenza senza aspettare la chiusura che sarebbe stata dopo pochi giorni. Personale molto cortese ed efficiente. Caro per il suo livello.

We had a wonderful holiday. Shooting star lodge is an oasis so peaceful and tranquil that we cannot help to relax and forget about all the cares in the world. Staff were friendly and helpful. Food was great. Our booking was problematic, because the site would not let us book one unit as a family of five. We fitted very comfortably into one cottage in the end but still ended up paying for both.
