    friendly staff
    local restaurants
    limited deck chairs

    Had a great time with friends, enjoying the lovely pools and the clean facilities. We explored nearby local restaurants for some authentic meals and visited a local scuba diving school for an adventure. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful !

    One downside was the limited availability of deck chairs by the pool. Sometimes it felt crowded during peak hours, which made finding a spot challenging.

    wonderful service
    door lock issue
    paint smell

    Wonderful service from the staff made our stay enjoyable.

    Unfortunately, we encountered a few issues during our stay. The first room we checked into had an issue with the door lock, which was quite disheartening. We were transferred to another room that, albeit comfortable, had a persistent paint smell in the evenings that made it hard to relax.

    helpful staff
    great breakfast
    cleanliness issues

    Incredible location near the beach and plenty of cafes. The pool area was clean with enough loungers. Breakfast was great with lots of options. Staff were genuinely helpful, especially Barbara, who went out of her way to assist. The room was spacious with air conditioning, making our stay very comfortable. cleanliness in the bathroom was lacking, showing signs of mold that needed more attention.

    Great stay with super friendly staff

    Had an awesome week here! The staff were super helpful, even arranged a taxi last minute. The room was nice and clean. The pool area was lovely. We enjoyed some tasty snacks at the poolside bar too. Just a note, the breakfast could’ve had more variety at times.

    infinity pool
    comfy sun loungers
    light smell

    Had an awesome time relaxing in the infinity pool while enjoying a cold beer. The sun loungers were super comfy and perfect for soaking up the sun. Just a small note, sometimes the room had a light smell but it didn’t ruin my stay at all, so make sure to check out the lovely bar for some drinks! 🍹
