I appreciated the daily housekeeping. The place was super clean always. beautiful outdoor furniture adorned each veranda. the owners created a warm atmosphere. a herb garden was also present and it was excellent.
the pool got quite busy with families during peak hours. finding a sunbed in the afternoon required some patience. the shallow end reached over three meters.

The grounds include an amazing garden and sea view. The rooms included nice decorations and cleanliness was great. The breakfast offered good choices. Communication with the host happened fast. Every staff member I met was cute. Kind, and helpful.
The immediate area surrounding the lodging seemed quite busy at times. Privacy felt a bit limited when the place was fully booked. I felt that the noise could travel easily.

The staff was friendly (i must admit), and always available to assist with any requests.
The air conditioning in my one-bedroom apartment balcony was ineffective. It struggled to cool the entire space, especially during the hottest part of the day, resulting in some discomfort.
