Staff, the rooms, pool and dining area were all well maintained, clean and spacious. It was just a few steps to a beautiful beach where you can swim and even experience the fishermen bringing in the boats.

It’s a brand new place, the rooms were a little dark and not designed / furnished well. The pool was amazing and we enjoyed the breakfast.

Very nice pool, nice, spacious rooms. The guys are really great. I booked one night too many (my mistake), and they refunded me the cost on their own initiative and didn't charge me anything.

“Enjoyable stay”
The rooms were spacious, beautiful and well maintained. Bathrooms were also clean. We really liked the pool. It was clean and it was big enough. And what we liked the most was the fact that the beach was so close so that we could simply get off the pool and walk to the beach. ❤️❤️ Staff was friendly and helped us. The stay would be better if they provided meals.

“A small paradise”
The location, the pool with the sunbeds surrounded by a beautiful garden, and the spacious room with large beds and all the facilities allow you to enjoy a nice vacation. It's definitely worth the price. The staff is very helpful and friendly.
