    Marek · couple · 2026-10-13

    “Krásny moderný rezort, velka a pohodlná postel, vsade čisto, kávovar na izbe, 2 bazény s možnosťou happy hour drinkov. Krásna pláž plná paliem a pekne udržiavaná. Ranajky boli v cene izby, len sladké variácie ovocia, džúsov, koláčov ci vlociek ale plne to postačovalo. Personal bol tiez veľmi príjemný.”

  • Reception and driving Staff were so helpful and very friendly. We couldn’t ask for better service from those staff. Es

    “The resort was beautiful. The food devine and mostly the friendliest people I have ever encountered. Happy hour, around the pool, each day was a bonus, 3.30 till 7. The roads are full of potholes but a good laugh. I loved the rides on the bus network especially listening to the drivers antics. He was hilarious, such a wonderful sense of humour. Bus is $5 a ride but buy a 10 ride pass $35 if you are going to be catching it a bit. Worth the money for the entertainment. Must do is one of the cultural shows. Fabulous. Absolutely loved our visit.”
