Pros:

Amazing place with very nice facilities and services. The staff was helpful and friendly. Although in a remote location there is the possibility to have transportation to the nearest town.

Cons:

For the exceptional standard, they should foresee a better offer for breakfast for the early departures.

5* Stay
Pros:

Qua ligging ging was het niet makkelijk bereikbaar maar eenmaal aangekomen waan je je snel genoeg in een oase van rust, ruimte en eenvoud. Precies wat een mens nodig heeft.

Cons:

Porties vallen mij redelijk tegen, ik ben een grote eter dat moet erbij gezegd worden maar twee keer uit eten per avond is ons deze vakantie al vaker overkomen.
Overigens niets mis met de kwaliteit en smaak van het eten am sich

très beau lieu pour se ressourcer au calme
Pros:

excellent petit déjeuner avec large choix, gentillesse du personnel, piscine très agréable, menu différent chaque jour cuisiné avec des produits frais, villa très confortable avec literie très agréable. Seule contrainte, l'hôtel est au milieu du désert et accessible uniquement avec un taxi ou voiture location ou la navette de l'hôtel, mais pas un aluguer.

Cons:

rien

Dépaysant, reposant et vue époustouflante !
Pros:

La vue, la décoration, les repas, la déconnexion, le calme, la nature,

Cons:

L’accès au logement est éloigné de tout, je trouve qu’il manque un moyen de pouvoir se déplacer, que l’hôtel pourrait proposer, comme des vélos, quad, etc. Surtout quand nous restons plusieurs nuits.

Prachtig verblijf als je van rust en natuur houdt en ver weg wil zijn van alle grote resorts.
Pros:

De rust, de kleinschaligheid, goed ontbijt, vriendelijk personeel, schone kamers. Als je echt tot rust wil komen en van wandelen en natuur houdt is dit een uitstekende plek om te verblijven.
Zwembad is niet verwarmd en dus in sommige seizoenen niet aangenaam, goed om rekening mee te houden. Het ligt echt afgelegen van andere plekken. Als je gewoon alleen rust wil, is dat geen enkel probleem en juist een bonus. Wil je wat meer ondernemen, hou er dan rekening mee dat je echt 30 min onderweg bent tenminste. Er waren veel dingen die het hotel voor je kon organiseren. Ook taxi's van en naar het vliegveld werden uitstekend geregeld. Het was heel leuk als je terug kwam van een tocht dat iemand van het personeel je opwachtte. Dat gaf een heel welkom gevoel.

Cons:

Je kan niet zwemmen in zee vanaf deze plek. Dat is goed om vooraf te weten. Wij hadden veel bewolking, maar als het erg zonnig is, zit je niet beschut bij je huis, omdat een parasol waarschijnlijk niet haalbaar is vanwege de (aangename, maar soms harde) wind. Je moet je dan echt heel goed beschermen tegen de zon om niet te verbranden. Soms was het water in de avond koud als 2 mensen al kort hadden gedoucht.

Pros:

Tucked away in a wonderfully remote location near the coast, this place feels like a true escape. The food was outstanding—we especially loved the dinners. The pool and yoga area quickly became our favorite spots to relax and unwind. We also really appreciated the thoughtful ecological approach, which added an extra layer of meaning to the overall experience.

Cons:

We experienced some discomfort with the bed - the mattress seems to be placed on a concrete structure, which did not work for us. We were also a bit surprised by the number of rules in place. While we fully understood and respected ecological guidelines, other rules felt somewhat at odds with what we expected from a premium "escape" accommodation. For example, the restriction on having snacks in the lounge area next to the pool gave us the impression of limited flexibility, which contrasted with the otherwise relaxed and inviting atmosphere of the property.
