Pros:

Ubytování je má skvělém místě. Pokud máte rádi výlety na moře,za delfíny,nebo potápěním,nebo surfkiting. Rozmanitá kuchyně. Rád bych poděkoval provoznímu Antoniovi, který dokázal zařídit cokoli a byl nesmírně milý po celý náš pobyt.

Cons:

Nic.

No wifi in 2026 is a joke!
Pros:

This place has so much potential but it looks like they are not interested in it getting more customers. No wifi in 2026 is just ridiculous. People were saying that in reviews 2 years ago and they still haven't done anything about it. They could solve this issue in a day if they wanted.

The resort space and rooms are gorgeous but the place is deserted and I can understand why.

Cons:

They have a gorgeous space but then there's this creepy twilight zone of an inside restaurant. When you enter they turn off the nice music they were listening to and put on this absolutely horrid elevator muzak, easily listening instrumentals of classics that would drive a person insane. We go to foreign countries to experience new things, not to have terrible versions of what we get at home. The music honestly is an example of the issue here. They are not giving visitors what they want, they are giving them what they _think_ visitors want. There was no menu anywhere to be found. Not online, not outside the restaurant not in the room. As I was one of two guests staying I figured that nothing can be fresh anyway so ate elsewhere. Apart from breakfast which was the same you get everywhere. I got a choice on day one. On day two I was just given exactly what I had picked on day one, no discussion. Everything was extremely oily and even the fruit selection felt sad.
The difference between here and the resort just two minutes walk up the coast is enormous. There the dining area is outside, looking at the sea, people everywhere, nice atmosphere...menus, cocktails... fancy having the sea right there and hiding it away from what should be your focal point. So weird.
The room is great and the space is really lovely. All sorts of wildlife around that's such a joy. Chipmunks, birds, frogs etc It's such a shame they don't make an effort. Someone has clearly given up but it would be so easy to inject some much needed life back into the place. 
Lower the price for a while to get people back and giving good reviews, rethink the disastrous restaurant situation, start encouraging guests of other resorts to come for drinks and meals - outside in front of the sea. I saw a man wonder in, clearly looking for that and just eventually gave up and left.

Pros:

Очень классное место. Главный плюс народу по сравнению с южной частью острова просто нет. 😊 на пляже практически, ни кто не купается. Все а основном уходят кайтить. Большая красивая территория. Есть два бассейна.

Cons:

Приезжают в выходные большие компании и проводят вечеринки. Шумно

Rauhallinen ja kaunis paikka
Pros:

Hiljainen ja rauhallinen sijainti. Yläkerran huoneen isolta parvekkeelta hieno näköala merelle ja uima-altaalle. Ystävällinen ja avulias henkilökunta. Erinnomainen parkkipaikka moottoripyörille sisäpihalla.

Cons:

Ravintola vaihtoehtoja ei lähellä paljon ollut. Kävelymatkan päässä kuitenkin jokunen.

Anthony, the restaurant manager, is a legend!
He made our visit comfortable, with everything from organising a boat trip to ensuring we ate well, to wifi!

We had spacious rooms, with comfy beds.

Cons:

The facilities are a little tired.

Wonderful place that our family truly enjoyed
Pros:

Anthony (the very sweet father figure of the resort) took such great care of us. Please tip him for us if you can! We accidentally forgot to as we were leaving, and we regret it. He was so kind and caring, and his English is great so he understands very well. The location was stunning with 2 pools and fishing boats on the beach. We were able to book a dolphin tour boat right at the hotel, and they picked us up with a boat right on the beach the next morning. We were lucky enough to see hundreds of dolphins swimming around us in the ocean! Beautiful experience.

Bof
Pros:

La nourriture est bonne et le monsieur du restaurant est très gentil.

Cons:

L’hôtel a l’air d’être à l’abandon, pas de wifi dans notre chambre (malgré le routeur qu’ils nous ont donné au milieu de séjour), on a demandé de louer un scooter, il est arrivé 2 jours plus tard (sur un séjour de 3 nuits), on a du demander qu’ils lavent nos fenêtres par lesquelles on ne voyait pas à travers tellement elles étaient sales, personne n’est à la réception, le dernier soir des locaux (clients?) ont mis la musique à un volume complètement déraisonnable sur un ampli, au milieu des bungalows, et l’hôtel ne leur a aucunement demandé de diminuer le son, même après 22h. Aussi, pas de kite possible à cet endroit de la plage.

Pros:

Lovely place to stay, also very friendly staff! Accommodation was fine, could be a bit cleaner. Breakfast also fine, Only thing we didnt like is that it is called KITESURF beach resort, but you cant take lesson or rent there haha.. But plenty options on the beach.

Gepflegte Anlage am völlig verdreckten Strand
Pros:

Die Lage direkt am Strand
Das Family Zimmer war sehr geräumig
Die Anlage ist sauber und gepflegt
Antony ist die wahre Seele des Resorts, er kümmert sich um alles

Cons:

Der Strand ist eine einzige Müllkippe, keiner kümmert sich darum
Die offene Dusche war bei Regen und Sturm immer voll Blätter und auch kleine Kokosnüsse

Nice place!
Pros:

Friendly staff, especially the old man at the breakfast. We absolutely loved the rotti. So delicious.
One day we went for a safari and left early in the morning, so they prepared a breakfast box for us - amazing!

Pros:

Anthony der Ältere Manager, gab sich sehr viel mühe, dass es uns gut geht und dass alles in Ordnung ist.
Die Qualität des Wassers im Pool war nicht besonders gut.
Ich glaube aber auch wenn Hochsaison ist, läuft das ganze sicher bisser.
Das Essen war OK doch nicht hervorragend.

Cons:

Die größe des Zimmers war sehr gut. Wir hatten kaffee und genug zu trinken.
Auch die Lage ist gut.

Polecam. Chętnie wrócimy
Pros:

Resort z kilkunastoma domkami, z dwoma basenami nad samym oceanem. Domki są duże i wygodne, posiadają lodówkę. Dobre śniadania serwowane w restauracji do wyboru dzień wcześniej lub bufet w przypadku dużego obłożenia hotelu. Bardzo mila obsługa. Dostaliśmy ręczniki basenowe, ręczniki w łazience wymieniane codziennie. Dużo restauracji na plaży w odległości spaceru. Chętnie wrócimy.
