The bathroom was clean but small, with a separate toilet rather than an open-plan layout. The bathroom floor was also quite slippery.

Excellent staff and lovely rooms with a great view. The managers were especially lovely.

Pleasantly refreshing stay at a high quality guest house
Pros:

Beautifully furnished, excellent food both breakfast and the optional dinner, competent staff, fair value for money. An added bonus I’d come back for is the sauna.

Cons:

I believe the pool filtration system needs attention as it never cleared to look clear enough to swim

Wonderful view , good stay.
Pros:

I have loved the sea view in my room absolutely stunning.
The end very confortable. The room very clean.

Albert has been wonderful driving me around the town.

The breakfast team has been very kind and friendly.

Cons:

The pool is not attractive very not clear. You want see the bottom and doesn’t make you want to jump in. And no much facilities at all for a 5 stars. The service is not 5 stars.

As well in my room I could hear absolutely everything. People talks and kitchen. And the smell was really bad in the room.

But the view is definitely 5 stars !
