A chill-out and pleasant spot with limited kids activities within and around, still worth visiting
Pros:

The breakfast was suprisingly good, you can select from multiple options but all of them were pretty good and quickly served. I appreciate a very good coffee. Air conditioning in the room was working fine, cocktails in the bar were very good and the personnel was extremely friendly and helpful. There was plenty of space everywhere to chill out and read a book or whatever.

Cons:

The location is quite remote and there is no beach around but it was clearly stated and we knew it so no surprises here but its a limitation. If you want to enjoy the beach you gotta take a taxi. There was some noisy construction work in the morning during first two days of our stay (note that after our intervention management has adjusted the hours). I believe this place would really benefit from some activity area that would engage kids a bit more, maybe small court to play soccer/volleyball, table tennis or anything like that. Since there is no beach there is no dedicated place for activities and kids were getting bored outside of pool.

We hebben genoten en we hadden graag langer gebleven!
Pros:

De ligging aan de zee was fantastisch. Je waant je in een klein paradijs waar je niks hoeft, behalve relaxen. Het eten, zowel ontbijt als diner is fantastisch en daarbij ook niet duur. Lief en behulpzaam personeel maakte ons verblijf helemaal af. Wij hebben genoten!

Cons:

De accommodatie is wat lastig te vinden op Google Maps.

Absolutely magical
Pros:

The staff - Manager, Isaac was absolutely phenomenal and the Chef - Romanus is a total genius and friendly! His music is of another level, he is special in selecting music! And Pili who served us an Ana amazing person - we also had the great dedicated services of Hamis as our taxi driver. Honest, patient and eager to help. Together this group made our 40th birthday one to remember for the next 40 years! We shall for the 80th birthday. Thank you Team Kidoti for making our time very memorable.

Cons:

There are efforts to improve access to the beach and we hope that these efforts materialize very soon.
