Our cabin was immaculately clean, modern, cosy & very comfortable ( & comfortable bed) . It had everything we needed & the location was perfect being a short walk to the restaurants & shops. Mike was very friendly & helpful especially as we were a last minute booking.

Had a nice stay. Right by the water which was lovely, has all the basic amenities, close to town. Did have a small ant problem in the cabin I was in, I didn’t mention it to reception because I had it under control and it cleared up on my second day. Comfy beds, bathrooms always free and kitchen nice and tidy.

Overall a great cheap place to stay for a few nights. Facilities although old were in good tidy clean order. Bed linen is optional and could increase room night rate a fair amount. Only real issue was the room we stayed didn't have AC and heated up a lot during day, but hard to cool down for the night.

Stayed in the 2 Bedroom apartment there. Very nice and well laid out. Only downside was there is clearly no sound insulation between the 2 apartments. So was a little noisy. Overall was clean and tidy, good vue for money and would stay again.

Good choice to stay.
Right across the road from the ocean. A beautiful location & well-kept grounds. Just an FYI - you will need to take your own rubbish to sort at the bins. Thats neither here or there, just would have been good to know prior to checking into the park.

This accommodation whilst relatively new was disappointing. The bed felt is had been well used. The whole feel of this property was that it had been done on the cheap. The advert was for free wifi, yes there was free wifi but limited to one device and 100mb's. After this you could purchase extra. We have had much better value for money at some of the other motels we have stayed at on this trip.

Our family enjoyed our stay at Harbourside Holiday Park - the pool was refreshing with plenty of deck chairs available. The communal kitchen and bathroom/shower facilities were clean and met our needs. Our little ones enjoyed the children's play area and our room was clean and cosy. It is evident that the property is well looked after and maintained.

Harbourside was a great holiday park. It had everything we needed and access to more! We cooled off in the pool then enjoyed dinner in the bbq area. Staff were accommodating upon arrival and were constantly maintaining the cleanliness of the property. This is a fantastic place to stay.
