Perfect stay, relaxed and very friendly!
Pros:

Everything was perfect! It was above expectations! But I have to specially mention the stuff: in the reception, in the restaurant, everyone was so friendly and always took time to greet you, explain you things, always smiling, this was so great to feel this level of welcome! Also food was great, so delicious!
Don't waste time to explore around because you will only find out that the beach below the hotel is the best around! :)

Capo Vaticano-i oázis
Pros:

Kedves és segítőkész személyzet, intéztek hajókirándulást nekünk, tisztaság jellemezte a hotelt, szépen kitakarítottak, a kert csodálatos, kertész gondozta a szép növényeket. Finom ételek voltak reggelire és vacsorára is, választani lehetett tésztafélét, húst vagy halételt, illetve vegetáriánus fogást.
Shuttle busz a partra nagyon hasznos volt. A bárban finom italokat lehetett kapni, családias a hangulat, visszamennék szívesen.
