simone M.
The room itself was great, with a comfortable bed and pillows, and it was kept perfectly clean. Staff were very friendly and kind. Sleeping was harder because noise came through the bathroom windows, which have protective screens but no glass. The sliding bathroom door doesn't shut fully, so the noise stands out even more. Breakfast was fine at first, but got repetitive over several days. We had eggs each morning, and they were quite dry, with only toast and pancakes alongside them, no vegetables or cheese. It's a nice place with lovely staff and clean rooms, but the breakfast and bathroom noise could be better.

We ended up staying five nights instead of three. Everything was high spec and worked well, and the air conditioning was a dream. Nights were quiet, the atmosphere relaxing, and the staff warm. Breakfast was delicious, especially the avocado passion smoothie. Two fantastic restaurants, passion and thyme, are right next door. Choosing your own salads and cookies there was a real highlight. It's five minutes to the beach, with convenience stores and tourist stalls nearby. The price felt very fair for what you get.

For the price, this is a five-star stay. The location is very central, about five minutes from the beach and two minutes from nice restaurants. Tito and Nadia gave great service. Rooms are cleaned daily, and they can do your laundry for a fee.

The service was great the whole time, and breakfast was excellent: eggs, toast, pancakes, fruit, and a smoothie. It's not right on the beachfront, but costs a fraction of a beach hotel and the beach is only a 2-3 minute walk away. Groceries, restaurants, spas, and the taxi stand are all within about two minutes on foot. A GREAT hotel for the price.

The garden was beautiful for eating and relaxing before and after the beach, and the staff were friendly and accommodating with all our many requests. My cousin and I stayed for three nights, and the comfortable rooms were exactly what we needed. One morning we'd had a long night and got up after breakfast was over, but they'd kept a plate of assorted fruit for us. I thought that was very considerate.
