Varázslatos, pihentető.
Pros:

Nagyon jó helyen van a hotel, közel van minden látnivaló, a bazár, a kikötő. Bőséges, finom ételeket szolgáltak fel nekünk vacsorára, a reggelinél nagy a választék. A személyzet kedves és segítőkész. Az ágyaink nagyon kényelmesek voltak. A környék éjszaka csendes. A közeli minaretből felhangzó ének nagyon szép, hangulatossá, meghitté varázsolja az ottlétet.

Cons:

Nincs ilyen. Csodálatos volt. Reméljük még visszatérhetünk!
