Gute Lage nähe Strand, am Strand können bei einer Bar Liegestühle mit Schirmen genutz werden. In ca. 5-10 Minuten zu Fuss hat man diverse gute Restaurants. Elena und ihr Personal ist sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend.

Cons:

Klimaanlage kann nicht mit allen Funktionen (Sleep-Mode, Swing-Funktion, etc.) eingestellt werden. Barbetrieb oder Restaurant am Abend war nicht vorhanden, Frühstück am morgen war möglich.

Tolle und entspannte Zeit am Meer!
Pros:

Der Aufenthalt war toll zum Entspannen. Alles war sehr ansprechend, die Gastgeberin und ihr Personal ausgesprochen freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir haben sehr lecker gefrühstückt.Das Meer mit kostenfrei zu nutzenden Liegen ist nur ein Katzensprung entfernt, dort findet man alles, was man zum Vergnügen benötigt. Ebenfalls fußläufig gut erreichbar sind der Supermarkt, ATM und viele kleine Restaurants.

Pros:

Hotel a meno di 5 minuti a piedi dalla spiaggia di Uppuveli.
Staff gentile e disponibile, ci hanno messo a disposizione un bagno per lavarci anche ore dopo aver effettuato il check out.

Cons:

La camera non era molto pulita, abbiamo trovato spesso formiche e rane in camera o nel bagno.
Ci sono anche parecchie zanzare, ma almeno è presente una zanzariera sul letto

Overall, it was a lovely and convenient stay with a great location and wonderful staff!
Pros:

I really loved the location. It was just a short walk from the beach and very close to plenty of restaurants and bars, which made everything really convenient.

Cons:

There were a few mosquitoes in the bathroom, so having mosquito plug-ins available in the rooms would be helpful. Mosquito nets were provided, but not everyone may prefer to use them. The water pressure was also quite low. However, these were only minor issues, and the friendly staff and excellent location more than made up for them.

Beautiful quiet place in nature
Pros:

Elena Garden is beautifully located in the middle of nature. Although it’s around the corner from Upavelli beach, you won’t notice when you’re at the accommodation. It’s the perfect place to chill in front of your room. The staff working there is very lovely.

Cons:

I was traveling by myself and found it difficult to find activities and restaurant to my taste: slightly less touristy. I think it’s good to realize that this area is focusing on Europeanen tourists.

A perfect place to relax and unwind
Pros:

This is a really comfortable and relaxing place to stay. There are only a small number of rooms, set in a beautiful tropical garden, which gives the whole place a peaceful and welcoming feel.

The rooms are individually decorated — ours had a lovely flamingo mural painted on the wall — and it’s obvious that Elena has put a lot of thought into making sure guests have everything they might need. There were lots of thoughtful touches, including toothbrushes and a clothes-drying rack, which was especially handy after a day at the beach.

The location is great too — just a short walk to the beach, as well as the shops and restaurants on the main street. A lovely, relaxing place to stay and one we’d happily recommend.

Лучший отпуск
Pros:

Шикарная территория! Замечательная, внимательная, отзывчивая хозяйка, которая помогала в решении всех вопросов и просьб. Помогла нам с организацией трансферов, экскурсий. Очень приятно было, что дочку поздравили тортиком в день её рождения. Очень доброжелательный персонал, улыбчивые, внимательные. Чистые номера, есть сумка для пляжа и пляжные полотенца, большая кровать с удобным матрасом, есть балдахин. Очень вкусный завтрак (есть несколько вариантов, можно выбрать, что кушать).

Basic guesthouse, top locatie, lieve mensen!
Pros:

Basic guesthouse, maar lekker want 100m van dé plek op het strand van Uppuvelli Beach: Hawaii bar & restaurant. Pak je bedje daar, drink en lunch en schuif direct door naar happy hour in een van de zitzakken, en daarna een tafeltje met je voeten in het zand. Thé place to be, en daarna 100m naar je bedje. Lekker ontbijt, lieve mensen, value for money.

Cons:

Onze vloer werd wat zanderig; een bezem, stoffer en blik zou handig zijn geweest zodat je zelf de boel netjes kunt houden…
