“Perfect for those wanting privacy and quiet. The waterfall Spa is the best on the island and truly relaxing! Toni, Sandr”
It was so private and away from the hustle and Bustle! villa 5 being on the edge of the property meant we couldn’t hear any other guests or road traffic! The pool was amazing and the perfect size. The bed was large and comfy as well. The waterfall spa was so relaxing as well.

“No complaints - a perfect holiday. We can't wait to return.”
Amazing location right on the beach that gave us a gorgeous view of the sea from every room, even from bed! We stayed at Rumours with our two teenage daughters and it was an excellent location for a family. We could easily wander to any number of fantastic places to eat or stay in and cook if we felt like it. They loved the plunge pool and spa if they had had enough of the beach. The location is amazing, the villa was immaculate and the lovely staff just made it all even better. Toni, in particular, was very welcoming and helpful. We loved our relaxing holiday at Rumours so much we are already planning the next one!

“Raro at rumours”
Super friendly and helpful staff, room cleaned beautifully everyday. Nothing too much trouble. Advice on where to go and bookings made for us. Loved the private pool. Kayaks at front door. Perfect location. Great outlay of chalet allowing a couple of girlfriends to stay together with private bedroom and bathroom each, both opening up to lounge area if wanted. Be ideal for 2 couples as well.

“Extremely comfortable. Enjoyed the luxury.”
Loved the location and the whole design of the place. Beautiful!! Staff were lovely and very helpful. It was so peaceful and quiet which suited us. Loved the spa. It was nice having breakfast delivered to the villa. We ordered a Sunset Seafood Platter one night and that was divine! So fresh and tasty.

Receptionist gave key from our villa somebody else and those people went in our villa and we don't know what they stolen 🥵 Absolutely terrible, never again here, find another place. And also We asked for 500 AZD cash and resort charged us 17 AZD and for what ? And last 2 thinks - we just had 1 massage and in Reception would like charge 2 and we payed for large and expensive villa and annoying Lady from Reception strictly said we have to live 11 o clock. So worsened stay....Choose another one.

“Friendly staff, comfortable accommodation, very relaxing holiday.”
Breakfast was good. Location nice but slightly further from main swimming area than I thought it would be. Very nice having private swimming pool and two rooms with large beds and separate bathrooms was really good. Would be a great place to stay for two couples wanting to share cost of upmarket accommodation as both bedrooms where of similar size and standard.

“Fantastic villa and friendly staff”
We loved the villa and all the space it had to offer. The living space was great with plenty of seating. The bedrooms were spacious and the en-suite facilities were excellent. We enjoyed the 2 decking areas and again plenty of chairs and sun beds for all. The breakfast was delicious. We were able to borrow a couple of extra kayaks so we had one each (there were 4 adults in our party). This enabled us to kayak over to the island and then snorkel around the rocks. The staff were very friendly; in particular John, who met us at the airport and took us back at the end, was full of laughter. Overall we would highly recommend staying here.
