Reviews and Ratings
I had a lovely stay at this boutique hotel, as it is ideally located just a short distance from the beach. The rooms were comfortable and well-kept, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. While the dining options were somewhat limited—especially breakfast—everything else made for a pleasant experience. The beautiful pool area added to the stay, though Wi-Fi was an extra cost, which I found a bit inconvenient.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant, with a beautiful beach right in front and a lovely pool area. The rooms were comfortable, although I found the bed a little creaky, which was not ideal for a restful night. The dining options could use some improvement, especially for breakfast, but overall, the experience was good given the value for money.
This boutique hotel offers a clean and comfortable stay with easy access to a quiet beach. I appreciated the spacious and modern rooms, though they had some minor creaks. The staff was pleasant and helpful, making my experience enjoyable. Dining was a highlight with delicious options, although breakfast could have had more variety. It's a good value overall, but the location is a bit removed from major tourist areas.
My stay at this boutique hotel was quite enjoyable, with clean and modern rooms that felt comfortable after a long day of exploring. The location was perfect for quick access to the nearby airport, making travel a breeze. However, I found the dining options a bit lackluster, particularly during breakfast which could use more variety. Overall, the price was reasonable considering the comfortable amenities offered.
I had a pleasant stay at this boutique hotel, situated on a beautiful small beach that felt almost private. The rooms were comfortable, and the service was top-notch, with a range of activities available. However, the location is a bit far from the main tourist areas, which means you'll need to budget for transportation. The dining experience was limited, particularly at breakfast, compared to what I expected.
