The pool was salt water which was amazing and unexpected, across the street from the beach, amazing kingsize bed. Not too soft and not too hard (coming from a person with back issues). Amazing view, saff super friendly and doing their best to communicate with you in English and they did great! The restaurant was in the garden and the crew was (guess what) … totally amazing!!! I loved the place and Im going back there!!!

Great facilities, location was amazing and staff was always available and willing to help. Received two complimentary beers as part of the sailing event that was happening at the island. Pool is fantastic with heated water (not warm, but rather at comfortable temperature) and under the sun for a long period.

Unfortunately, had a small issue in my bathroom towel rack (which was promptly fixed when brought to staff’s attention). Also had a issue with the elevator, and was stuck there for about 5 mins. Nothing major and staff was again quick to help me. Kitchen seemed a bit burdened one evening and my orders took a while to be made. Room walls are at the thinner side and you can hear children running and playing on the rooms next door. Despite these, would definitely recommend and go back

Beautiful rooms with an amazing view. The original room we booked was very spacious plenty of space for a family. Nice heated pool and great location. Buffet breakfast was also really good.

Our room had drainage issues with the shower however the staff quickly rectified this and moved us into another room with a more modern bathroom. The space was smaller though and personally I would’ve valued being given the same space over modern facilities.

The stay was very comfortable and the location is excellent. The rooms are done very well and are very comfortable. While the hammock provided is excellent, I would suggest more comfortable chairs in the balcony to enjoy the view of the beach across the road which is fabulous. The restaurant attached has excellent food and outstanding cocktails though on the expensive side.

The only 2 drawback is 1.) the quality of the breakfast. while there is a range, its can improve a lot considering the quality of the restaurant, 2.) The balconies are common for 2 apartments with a wooden screen - so not very private even for a conversation.

The hotel is well located, near the city center and close to beaches. Breakfast is amazing The room is comfy, and the view is great Nice staff

All rooms are on the second floor, requiring stairs or your car to reach it. It is not easy to walk around if you have mobility issues.
