Reminds me of Mykonos. Friendly people, warm atmosphere, beautiful scenery and overall a great escape from the busy city
Pros:

It such a beautiful hotel, very intimate considering that there are only 5 Oyster Villas. The interior of the suites was done very well, and I love that there’s a splash pool right outside of your patio.
Also love the addition of the make up towels for us ladies - thank you Abalone for that :)

Cons:

The food menu is very limited. Wish there was a bit of a variety for that.

Ein rundum schöner und angenehmer Aufenthalt! Wir kommen gerne wieder!!
Pros:

Das Abalone zeichnet sich durch sein besonders freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal aus. Die Zimmer sind sehr schön und neu eingerichtet. Das Frühstück ist sehr gut und wir haben ausgezeichnet im hoteleigenen Restaurant (Blue) gegessen. Für die letzte Nacht haben wir ein Upgrade in die gegenüberliegende Oyster Villa erhalten (Herzlichen Dank nochmal dafür!) Die Zimmer dort sind ganz neu und sehr komfortabel eingerichtet. Vor den Zimmern gibt es einen zwar sehr schmalen aber rund 25 m langen Pool. Wir haben uns rundum wohl gefühlt und kommen gerne wieder! Herzlichen Dank nochmal an das ganze Team!
