Pros:

L’hôtel est incroyablement beau ! L’architecture, l’emplacement, le style brut des chambres.
Le lieu est très apaisant et intimiste. Et les chambres grandes et accueillantes.

Cons:

Le personnel manquait d’hospitalité et d’explications sur le lieu : visite et détails du lieu et des services proposés.
Le personnel parle très peu anglais, la communication était difficile.
Le beach bar n’est pas abouti comparé au standing de l’hôtel.
L’offre culinaire n’est pas à la hauteur des attentes de la clientèle.

Bien pero aun tiene areas de mejora
Pros:

Arquitectura y el spa

Cons:

Las ventanas no tiene cristal, el baño esta al aire libre y no tiene forma de cerrarse por lo que en la noche se meten murciélagos a la habitación, al mismo tiempo es facil que te vean en el baño desde el exterior de la habitación.

To conclude, the safety concerns took away from and peaceful experience we might otherwise have had and if we had known
Pros:

1. The food was good, especially the breakfast and lunch (see comment below regarding dinner).

2. Staff friendly and dealt with requests via WhatsApp efficiently.

3. Room interiors nice but see comment below re safety concerns.

4. Massage very good.

Cons:

1. First, the hotel is impossible to find. From the main road, you are presented with a fork and it isn’t clear which one to go down. Down that small road, it is not even clear once you arrive at the hotel.

2. My wife and I did not feel safe in the property. The shower backs on to an exposed and open wall, which sits next to a path. It would be very easy for someone to jump through in the middle of the night and into the room, or during the day to steal belongings

3. It is a solar powered hotel which means there is limited lighting around the room and the premises generally. You will walk to dinner in pitch black through unlit sandy paths. Also, this means the shower is cold in the morning.

4. The half board dinner menu is a set menu with one meat/fish option and another vegetarian. We were only told on the last night after asking that we could order (any pay additionally for) eating from the lunch menu.

5. The room’s pool was dirty on arrival. It was only after messaging on Day 3 that someone came and cleaned it.

6. Amenities such as shower gel and towels were not replaced.

7. The ‘spa’ consists of one room and on our arrival on Saturday we were originally told there was no massage appointments available until Thursday. On compliant, this was rectified.

Architecturally spectacular and serene, but service, food, and day-to-day operations fall short of what you’d expect fro
Pros:

Stunning architecture and thoughtful design, with a strong concept and philosophy behind the hotel. Very peaceful atmosphere with beautiful views. The pool is gorgeous, and the breakfast was generous.

Cons:

1. Service / operations (not 5-star level): The welcome felt impersonal and overly administrative. There was no real introduction to the property (its story, the architect, or the sustainability/renewable-energy angle), which is a missed opportunity given the concept. Communication and logistics were unreliable: reception stopped responding regarding airport transport; when we arrived, no driver was there and we waited about an hour in the sun with little clarity. A similar issue happened at checkout: our taxi arrived ~40 minutes late and the response from reception was not proactive and lacked apology/ownership. The staff seemed confused most of the times and seemed like had no experience in hospitality.
2. Food: The dinner experience did not match the positioning/price point. Desserts were very basic and, overall, flavors and execution were underwhelming—especially in the evening.
3. Spa: Beautiful space, but the hammam was not working.
4. Room practicality / comfort: While visually beautiful, the room setup is not very functional. The main fan was not strong enough and the backup fan was very noisy. There were many mosquitoes; the hotel could improve this with better screening/sealing between the outdoor shower and the room and/or a mosquito net.
5. Amenities: Not enough towels in the room—two towels for two guests is insufficient.
6. Cleanliness: The sink area appeared not properly cleaned (signs of moisture/mildew).

Pros:

+ architecture
+ tranquility

Cons:

do NOT eat there, food is awful - plain green salad as a starter, a fried melanzani slice decorated with plum pieces on tzatziki - who tf creates such a dish? portions were tiny, we left hungry. almost no one speaks english, not even bits.

Can’t wait to come back. I dream of terrestre now.
Pros:

I loved the architecture and the sense of intent placed on every detail of the property. The staff were kind, helpful and memorable. The food was delicious, fresh and imaginative. The hamman was relaxing and the refreshments provided were a testament to the attention to detail thought our stay. I can’t wait to come back.
