- JJenny O'Dea31/01/2024Super welcoming, highly recommend ! Super welcoming, highly recommend !Jordy was an absolute superstar! We decided to stay on the island last minute and she sorted everything out for us, gave us a lovely room and even gave us a phone charger. She was super welcoming and friendly, as were all the other staff. Would highly recommend the Hideaway as it is right on the beach so you can step out of your room and watch sunrise and sunset.Jordy was an absolute superstar!
