Pros:

Abbiamo trascorso un soggiorno davvero piacevole. La struttura è molto tranquilla e si respira un’atmosfera di pace e relax.

Il cibo era molto buono e il personale è stato sempre gentile, disponibile e sorridente.

La spiaggia è semplicemente mozzafiato e la possibilità di fare kayak.

Buono ma un po’ austero
Pros:

Il cibo era delizioso, lo staff disponibile, e la camera adatta ad un soggiorno ed anche molto pulita .

Cons:

I servizi dell’hotel erano ottimi e il personale sempre gentile e disponibile. Purtroppo, la mia esperienza con la gestione è stata molto negativa. Ho avuto l’impressione che i prezzi venissero cambiati deliberatamente più volte: inizialmente mi era stato comunicato un importo di 1000 SCR per il trasferimento poi diventato 1050 e poi tornato 1000.

Inoltre, ci era stato detto che potevamo rimanere fino alle 16:30, ma alle 15:00 abbiamo dovuto abbandonare la stanza m via per un loro errore organizzativo. Anche il transfer è stato fatto pagare a un prezzo più alto del previsto considerando che via messaggio era stato detto che l’importo da pagare era di 700scr , nonostante fosse condiviso con altre persone. E per errore di conto stavamo per pagare 2 volte una cena.

Peccato, perché la struttura e il personale meritano, ma la proprietà ha reso l’esperienza poco piacevole e poco trasparente.

It was good
Pros:

The breakfast was fair.
It did not have lots of options as I expected, especially being a frequent traveller, I had to make a comparison, apologies.
The location was great, as it was quiet and clean and also the staffs were kind.

Cons:

I did not like the fact that I was charged for a buffet yet still had limited options to choose from.
The food was very tasty and clean but the portion was not fair, especially the fact that lunch was not provided(this I was aware of when booking) Hence just relied on breakfast and dinner.
I was not happy when I found out about paying for drinking water, that I assume could have been provided free of charge.
