Many guests praise spacious rooms and charming bungalows with sea views, though some mention issues (no TV in one report, shower head not fixed, ongoing renovations, and stairs in water bungalows).
Amenities

Good on-site amenities noted (pool, restaurant, happy hour, beach towels/mats), scooter rental nearby and special touches for pets; negative notes about warm outdoor pool, no TV in some rooms and limited beachfront facilities.
Value for Money
6
Included à la carte breakfast and quality dining are positives, but the need to rent a scooter, lack of direct swim-friendly beach and some renovation/maintenance issues temper perceived value.

Consistently high marks for the restaurant, à la carte breakfast (late hours appreciated), delicious meals and excellent cocktails/happy hour.
Overall Experience
8.1
Majority of reviews describe a lovely, calm stay with welcoming staff, beautiful grounds and repeat-stay intent; some practical drawbacks (accessibility, beach quality) slightly reduce the overall score.

Home away from home
Pros:

This hotel feels more like a home away from home than a hotel. The staff are very kind. The resort is very loved and taken care of and they have beautiful cats that they really take care of. The cats actually have their own room, air condition with food and They are so loved. It's beautiful to see.

Cons:

We did get the water bungalows please keep in mind that if you have any sort of disability or injury, it is very hard because there's a lot of stairs and not easily accessible. However, keep in mind that is the case in most of the hotels and bars on this island. The pool is quite warm but that is the condition of the climate since it is outdoors. You also will notice that there is no beachfront but not to worry once you get all the way down to the beach. If you look to your left you will see there are sandbanks where you can sit and enjoy the beautiful sea

Liebevolles Hotel
Pros:

Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.
Das Frühstück (Menü) sehr lecker und reichlich.
Die Anlage generell sehr schön.

Wir haben auch jeden Abend im Hotel gegessen, weil es einfach Mega lecker war.

Cons:

Der direkt vorgelagerte Strand ist steinig und voller Müll. Man kann von dort aus nicht ins Wasser oder gar schwimmen. Die nebenliegenden Strände sind aber gut zu erreichen und sehr schön.

Die Anlage wird gerade renoviert. Das hat sie auch nötig.

Pros:

Ein Traum von Herzlichkeit, Wünsche ablesen, Lage und zauberhafter Bungalow. Frühstück gibt es den ganzen Tag, so das man mega entspannt ausschlafen kann und nicht verhungern muss. Perfekte Lage zum Strand und vor dem Resort gleich der Scooter Verleih. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder

My stay was great! I would definitely come back again.
Pros:

I liked the location. It was easy to walk to the nearby shops and restaurants. The staff were very attentive and made my birthday feel special. The room was exactly as listed online and the AC is nice and strong!

Cons:

One small gripe was that the shower head wasn’t properly affixed to the wall so I had to hold it to wash myself.

Overall, the level of service and the whole experience were truly exceptional. 🧡
Pros:

The entire staff was incredibly attentive, friendly, and welcoming from the very first moment. Everything felt very relaxed, yet perfectly organized at the same time.

We especially loved the welcome drink, the amazing breakfast with high-quality à la carte dishes, and the incredible happy hour in the evening with delicious cocktails and a beautiful sunset view. Another lovely touch was that the hotel provided us with beach towels, a mat, and even a basket to take with us for the day.

Cons:
