Spacious and Cozy

I stayed in a Superior Room, which was surprisingly spacious and beautifully designed with a unique brick ceiling. The room had all the essentials including a large wardrobe, comfortable beds, and a stunning view of the sea from the balcony. I loved the touch of having fresh flowers upon arrival and the decor that reflected the local culture. Overall, a good experience!

Delicious Culinary Options

The dining experience was a highlight of my stay. The food, while not overly diversified, was high quality and delicious. I particularly enjoyed the daily fresh fruit selection and the special corner dedicated to healthy options. The waitstaff was attentive, ensuring that meals were served quickly and efficiently with a nice view of the sea while dining. I also appreciated the beach bar which offered freshly baked pizza throughout the day!

Unwinding by the Sea

The leisure facilities at the hotel included a lovely pool and access to amazing coral reefs directly from the beach. I found my time spent by the water quite therapeutic. The serene environment allowed me to relax and reconnect with nature. The diving center was conveniently located, making it easy to arrange snorkeling trips to explore the vibrant marine life that the area is known for.

We had an incredible time at this quiet hotel! The beautiful gardens and extensive coral reef made for a perfect snorkelling experience. While the rooms were comfortable, we felt that the dining options could use a bit more variety, though what was offered was of high quality. The only downside was the Wi-Fi, which was chargeable and a bit hit-or-miss. Overall, it was a fantastic stay, and we can't wait to return!
