A place you can feel at home
Pros:

Amazing value for a very cheap price! Extremely beautiful view from the pool. Staff is very friendly and helpful - they make you feel like family. Clean sheets, comfy bed. They organised a fantastic Panorama Walk for us which was the highlight of our trip. Omar was a very fun, knowledgable quide, ask for him if you can 😊

Cons:

Rooms are a bit outdated, but still amazing value-price ratio.
