Hôtel très bien situé, bon rapport qualité/prix
Pros:

L'ambiance déco, la salle de bain original
L'accueil
L'emplacement au centre de Paje
Plage à 3mn à Pied
Bon rapport qualité/prix

Cons:

Le petit déjeuner pas assez varié, très peu de choix.
La commune de Paje est restreint en électricité par conséquent beaucoup de coupures dans la journée indépendamment de la volonté de l'hôtel (impact clim et WiFi lors des fortes chaleurs)

Good stay.
Pros:

Small hotel with very friendly and helpful staff and very good food. The area around the pool was very pretty and peaceful. Not far from the beach - about a 5 minute walk.

Cons:

The room safes were very small. Fine to fit in passports but no chance for tablets or laptops. Also, the description on Booking.com did not say it doesn't serve alcohol.

Pros:

Es war wirklich außergewöhnlich gut. Wir haben selten ein so sauberes und gepflegtes Hotel erlebt. Allein die Pool-Anlage wurde 3x/Tag sauber gemacht. Das Personal war wirklich unfassbar nett und aufmerksam. Insgesamt ist die ganze Anlage ein Traum! Obwohl das Hotel an einer größeren Straße liegt, kriegt man davon hinter den Türen des Hotels nichts mit! Es ist wirklich eine kleine Oase. Das Frühstück war auch super.
