“Beautiful garden with lots of plants, and two swimming pools. Quiet location, though there are many beach bars nearby. The beach is nice and clean, and you can swim at any time — no stones in the water in front of the hotel. Rooms are mostly in individual little bungalows with terraces. Lots of birds wake you in the morning. The hotel is clean and well-staffed. Excellent spa!”

7.5Verified guest

“Traditional and very comfortable bungalows in a lovely setting. Close to town, the beach, and restaurants — ideal for diving and other marine activities. A wide selection of DVDs and books is available. Friendly staff, especially at reception and the spa.”
