Pleasant
The location is nice & quiet but far from the airport & the port. Nice & clean beach on the front. The staff are amazing, friendly & helpful but the restaurant needs to improve on their service eg they did not have teabags when we asked during breakfast. We had dinner twice & we loved it. We had breakfast every morning but it wasn’t filling. The rooms are clean & spacious but do not have kettles & tea/coffee. Beautiful place with amazing views. Overall pleasant stay, i highly recommend it& we are definitely going back in summer.

We got charged for everything constantly, the waitresses and managers were rude, insisted and didn‘t comply to wishes, the electricity was off for 3 days while we were there: toilet and shower weren‘t working, no lights and no air con, no wifi either. The food was okay and cheap but the overall quality and atmosphere was disappointing.
