Tranquil getaway
extensive option friendly staff super clean cleanliness
I found the breakfast buffet extensive. It included fresh fruit, juices, and pastries. A chef prepared eggs and pancakes each morning. The staff ensured rooms were spotlessly clean. They serviced the rooms tirelessly. The pools were tested daily. I also found all the staff friendly and approachable.
The hotel is a little outdated.
Location

The hotel is situated in a beautiful natural reserve away from the town. It offered a calm environment, and it was easy to access the nearby beach by boat. The location offers an escape from city noise.
Rooms
9/10
The rooms offer comfortable beds. The rooms are well-equipped, and when I requested a kettle, it was promptly provided. The building feels like a compound. The absence of walls enhanced the open atmosphere. I LIKED the room.

Acceptable Stay with Some Issues
ant infestation no iron
The grounds and buildings were nice and the location near the sea was good.
The room had some issues. There were ants. I also needed an iron but the hotel said they don't have them due to safety reasons.
