“This family-friendly resort, a short walk from Avalon Beach, clearly understands its guests' needs. The option of kitchenettes in some rooms, plus both indoor and outdoor pools, makes longer stays comfortable and convenient, especially for families. It's a well-run property that I would recommend for a relaxed beach vacation.”
