Pros:

The staff was warm and attentive, friendly, polite. Great breakfast, the pool is attractive, clean. The gardens are beautiful - birds, flowers, butterflies.

Cons:

The mattress was the firmest mattress I have ever slept on. The bedsheets were clean but there was no bedding beyond the two sheets. I would have been comfortable with some sort of additional cover. I used a sarong which was good enough.

Acogedor y relajante.
Pros:

La experiencia natural y las habilidades 😍🥳

Cons:

Mayor seguridad. Niños en la piscina de adultos y algunos sin supervisión. Me gustaría que si es de adultos fuera de adultos. Pero todo bien.

Pros:

Cute bedroom huts, closeness to beach, friendly staff.

Cons:

I was nervous walking to hotel in evenings as not many street lights, few cars and lots of hiding spots for people to lerk. Would be great place if you were staying with another person.

Pros:

Het zijn leuke uitjes op het park en alles was erg schoon. Het ontbijt is simpel, maar okay.

Cons:

Je kan goed de buren horen praten, daarnaast is het matras erg hard. Ook is het zwembad klein voor de hoeveelheid mensen op het park

Pros:

Friendly staff, great breakfast service and relaxing surroundings.

Cons:

Not a lot of options around, you need to walk some distance for shopping. Limited selection in the bar, but there is a option around 300 meters from the hotel.
