“Wonderful place with lovely staff, one of the best we’ve ever seen.”
+Wonderfully unique place, a perfect example of how modern living conditions can intertwine with undisturbed nature. A very romantic hotel sprawling with life, and a staff so professional and so friendly you might reconsider your life choices.

“Lovely family stay”
+Lovely gardens around the hotel, and the beach is beautiful. The staff was excellent and very helpful, though the level of English skills was varying. We had a lovely stay with our family. Good dive center at the hotel.
−During à la carte evenings the food was very good, but the buffet was not as good quality. But it is possible to eat at other hotels or local restaurants nearby.

“A good hotel with easy access to the beach.”
+The gardens were well kept, the staff were very attentive and the food was ok. Bicycles were available for free and the reef walk was a pleasant break. The room was very pleasant. For those who like to dive there is dive centre attached to the hotel.
−There was an abundance of crows that became very annoying, taking food when they could and generally being very noisy. They have decimated the population of other birds and have caused problems for the hotel staff who try to keep them at bay. The sun loungers on the beach did not recline. If you use a credit card here they charge 5%.

+We were very satisfied
−The hotel is located in the eastern part of the island which means it is influenced by tides. On the other hand, it is in a quiet location.

“familiärer Traumurlaub”
+Die Lage war direkt am Strand mit Blick aufs Meer. Das Essen war sehr gut und immer frisch zubereitet und sehr abwechslungsreich. Das Personal war immer super freundlich, sehr hilfsbereit, sehr aufmerksam und man hat sich gut aufgehoben gefühlt.
−Eine Holzplanke für den Zugang zum Strand wäre vor allem für Rollstuhlfahrer hilfreich gewesen.

“Piacevole e accogliente”
+La struttura è molto bella, il personale davvero gentile e il cibo buonissimo
−Purtroppo la posizione non è il massimo e il mare in quella zona non permette sempre di fare il bagno
