Unfortunately the hotel was not close to the airport, but it offered an airport shuttle and one of the most beautiful beaches and beach bungalows we had ever booked, furnished with love, nearly on the beach opposite the open sea. The staff was very friendly, helpful and the chef served first rate food. Moreover the hotel offered excursions, wellness and a little boutique.

    “We had a very relaxing stay at the resort. The villas were spacious, clean and very comfortable. The airport transfers were seamless and communication to and from the resort was excellent. Breakfast was good and the fire show was great. Above all, however, the staff were wonderful and the spa experience was outstanding. Highly recommended for a relaxing vacation.”

    “Wonderful location with a relaxing vibe. We booked the one bedroom vila at the beach. The vila was very clean and had a comfortable bed. The food was amazing! In fact, the best food I've had in any restaurant in a while. The friendly staff were all smiles from the moment we arrived and always checked to make sure we had all we needed. A special mention to Fiona who made sure our stay was exceptional. Definitely coming back again.”

  • Great spot and the staff where amazing, so happy to look after us and make our stay a great break from real life
