    perfect sea view
    inconsistent amenities

    amazing views but a few inconsistencies

    The staff service was top-notch. Sanga checked in on us and provided the menu before arrival, which set a great tone. The underfloor heating in the room was a delightful touch and made the stay even more comfortable, while the breathtaking sea view from our room was simply relaxing.

    Some amenities didn't meet expectations.

    outdoor swimming pool
    beach loungers
    hot water delay

    What an amazing place! We enjoyed relaxing by the outdoor swimming pool and soaking up the sun on the beach loungers. Just a heads-up, the hot water took a minute to kick in, but it didn't overshadow our fantastic experience. 🌊

    gorgeous room
    stunning ocean views
    out of commission steps

    Had a lovely night in a gorgeous room with stunning ocean views! The spa bath was heavenly, and underfloor heating was a delightful surprise. Such a peaceful escape, felt like royalty with that view right from my room.

    The steps to the beach were out of commission, so I couldn't take my daily sandcastle-building sessions. Talk about a sandy disappointment!

    breathtaking views
    inconsistent internet

    The views from our room were breathtaking, and we loved the spacious layout that allowed us to unwind comfortably. The Octagon restaurant served delightful dishes, really hitting the mark for a memorable dining experience.

    Internet connectivity was inconsistent during our stay, which was a bit frustrating.

    The room was spacious and had an amazing view of the sea, which was super relaxing. The comfortable beds made for a great night’s sleep. Plus, the underfloor heating was such a nice touch. The bathroom was roomy and had a spa bath with a view, which was perfect for unwinding after a long day.

    Breathtaking Views and Exceptional Comfort

    After a long journey, we arrived to find our luxury double room with a stunning view of the sea. The underfloor heating added a cozy touch, and the room was spotless with beautiful furnishings.
