Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The location was superb, with easy access to the beach and a variety of restaurants nearby. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was exceptionally friendly. On the downside, the breakfast options were a bit limited. The facilities, especially the pool area, were well-maintained and enjoyable. Overall, a great value for the price, although Wi-Fi came at an extra cost.
I had a delightful stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and clean, with a lovely touch of fresh local flowers and a balcony. The service was top-notch, offering convenient car hire and excellent housekeeping. The location was superb, nestled in the lagoon near the property and not far from the marina where our island adventures began. The dining experience was a treat, especially for vegetarians like myself. The facilities were modern and well-maintained, offering great value for money.
