Very family friendly and everyone is respectful (no loud noises!). The pool is excellent and you can book two sessions a day. Deal has excellent facilities (good supermarkets etc). Great location. The only thing I would mention is if youâre going in the very hot months the top floor of the chalets are like ovens, even with the window open. Otherwise, a super place for hols.

Com experience with being advised re keys for access on the day. I didn't receive pre-notification and farcical, conflicting responses (over a number of days) when I tried to contact Booking.com. On the actual day, it ended up them telling me to contact the owner directly for the keysafe pin !!
