Glorious Days in Tala

Why people keep on  returning to Tala - Yes they love it...

2026 has seen our regular friends return time and time again to Tala, we are always delighted to welcome you back and as many of you tell us it's the familiar element's of Tala that give you comfort, the home away from home; and yet you’re always excited to see what's new. Each year we try to add upgrades, little touches to make life here even more idilic. Want something for your next trip here?  Let us know, if it's possible we will try to accommodate. Many people are surprised at the extras we simply include. From coffee to kid’s beach tents, ask it may already be here and that could save a few kilos on the luggage allowance...

Starting late 2025 the Tala community pages and blog - this exciting new aspect is to provide our regular and repeat guests with even more information and insights. Places to visit, comments from other guests, hints and tips, and those ever important discounts and additional services. We have had so much great feedback annd pride ourselves on having a 100% 5 star rating. Thank you all. Yet, there is always more we can do. We are always keen to keep the apartment current and upto an exceptionally high standard, so we have just invested in new LED energy efficient lighting. New water tank and bedding. We take all feedback onboard so additional baking utensils and new glasses ( along with plastic ones for the balcony space) are in place along with upgrades to the main bathroom, Laundry room equipment and a full kitchen repaint and finish. Both bedrooms have AC units and a large fan has been provided for the living space. Wifi is provided throughout and a comprehensive range of TV channels. We have more. in addition to our partnership with Island Baby we have a beach sun tent for you younger guests and soft floor mats to create a safe play area (Please do supervise children though). Chid locks are fitted but are activated only on request so please just ask. Please do let us know if you have any further things you would like to see or have provided and we will certainly explore the art of the possible. Dave and Mary
