Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is a peaceful retreat located at the quieter end of the island but still within a walkable distance to the main attractions. The rooms, though a bit dated, offer privacy for a good night's rest. Some minor issues with stuffiness and a malfunctioning fan. The proximity to the beach is a major highlight, but being close to a cemetery might not suit everyone's preference.
The hotel offers breathtaking views, but the rooms could use a refurbishment. Despite the dated decor, my stay wasn't ready yet. The service was top-notch, and the location, while nice, might have a strong smell of seaweed at times due to the wind direction.
I truly enjoyed my stay at this hotel! The location is superb, close to the beach and many restaurants. The rooms are cozy, clean, and can accommodate a group of six comfortably. The only slight downside was being above a workshop, but it didn't bother us much. The value for money was excellent considering we could explore the island affordably.
Despite the rooms not being super fancy as expected and a mix-up at check-in, my stay at the hotel had its positives with comfortable rooms but also drawbacks. The location was ideal for relaxation, although there were noise disturbances from other guests during the night. The dining experience was good but slightly pricy. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms really need a facelift, but on the bright side, the booking process for a snorkeling tour was smooth. The room I stayed in was a good size with a decent hot water shower, reliable WiFi, and perfectly working aircon alongside a fan.
