Peppers Beach Club & Spa Palm Cove

Peppers Beach Club & Spa Palm Cove

10/10 Excellent
"This is one of the loveliest places I've stayed. The 1 bedroom apartment was the perfect size for one person or a couple. We had a full kitchen, big balcony and washing machine & dryer. The staff were really helpful and the pool and pool bar were perfect for a relaxing holiday. Would definitely recommend!"
