Et fantastisk hotell som virkelig kan anbefales.
Pros:

Fantastisk beliggenhet! Flotte fasiliteter, og helt supert med gode solsenger ned mot strandkanten. Personalet var utrolig hyggelig og serviceinnstilte, og de ga hele hotellet en helt egen atmosfære med sin rolige og behagelige væremåte. Det var først når vi kom til dette hotellet at vi fikk den behagelige og rolige feriefølelsen. En uke her var helt perfekt, og vi kommer gjerne tilbake.

Cons:

I korte perioder var strømmen ustabil, noe som gjorde at airconditionen ikke fungerte optimalt hele tiden.

Beautifully relaxing
Pros:

We loved our stay here. A taxi was waiting for us at the airport. Greeted by Aisha at reception who organised trips, massage and taxis for us when needed. All of the staff including Joshua, Rose, Grace & Oscar were brilliant & seemed genuinely happy which showed. Rooms were kept lovely & clean as were the grounds. Always being swept & hosed down. Food & drinks were good also. Just a lovely place to stay

Cons:

Not a dislike but maybe an improvement suggestion. The hotel offers Spa treatments (We had an amazing massage) I feel for the price (which was still very reasonable) the little Spa room could have been so much better with very little effort or cost. Was literally a bed in a room off the beach. Perfect location and size, very clean, just needs to feel more intended

Goed en minder goed
Pros:

De ligging en de vriendelijkheid personeel.

Cons:

Het bed en de inrichting. Geen stoel om op te zitten. Geen fatsoenlijke kast. De weg naar het hotel is superslecht. Kleine moeite om dit aan te passen.

Vi älskade hotellet och personalen,
Pros:

Läget. Rummen. Personalen. Alla faciliteter. Lagom stort med ca 15 rum. Blev aldrig fullt vid poolen eller solsängarna. Bilderna på booking speglar inte helt verkligheten, det är bättre på riktigt. Mer växter, mer insynsskyddat utanför rummen.

Cons:

Tog lång tid att få maten/frukosten. Till slut jag jag upp och beställde frukosten åt familjen, och skrev när dom kunde komma. Det ENDA som drar ned betyget från 10 till 9.

Pros:

Spazi esterni, zona relax, piscina

Cons:

Staff scortese e pretenzioso.
Molto invasivo, nei nostri momenti di relax ci veniva chiesto insistentemente se volevamo ordinare cibo o bevande. Se l’ordine non comprendeva “molte cose” sembravano scocciati.
Inizialmente durante le consumazioni ci hanno invitato caldamente a pagare alla fine del soggiorno, per noi era più comodo pagare di volta in volta e così abbiamo fatto, tranne una volta che per comodità abbiamo comunicato il numero della stanza per farlo mettere sul conto, una volta che ci siamo alzati siamo stati rincorsi in stanza urlando “The bill! The bill!”

A really lovely boutique hotel that felt intimate and friendly. The staff were all lovely, and there were some really nice little touches for guests - they would always do their best to go the extra mile.

Pros:

Genuinely beautiful views, pretty modern minimalistic rooms

Cons:

Approximately every four minutes, the air conditioning system switched on and off, each time accompanied by a loud beeping sound. This meant that the room was not properly cooled at any point. Instead, we experienced a constant alternation between hot and cold temperatures, which made sleeping nearly impossible.
I would also like to mention that the living area had a strong smell of damp concrete, giving the impression of being in the middle of a construction site. This significantly reduced our sense of comfort and well-being during the stay.

Underbar vistelse
Pros:

Den fantastiska känslan när du kommer in på området. Så vackert och alla är så snälla och vänliga.
Frukostmenyn var så trevlig och det var inga problem att ändra eller lägga till.
Vi hade förseningar och problem med bagaget men flickan i receptionen är underbar och hjälper till så gott hon kan.
Stort tack! 🤩
