El bungalow con vistas al mar es increíble, super bien decorado y con una terraza espectacular. Desayuno muy variado y completísimo. El staff super atento en todo momento. Además, organizan actividades complementarias todos los días. El único pero es que los precios del restaurante son un poco elevados en comparación con los de alrededor. Igualmente, todo fue genial. ##### Sergio Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### camilla Dec 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Allt man kan önska för en avslappnad semester Fantastiskt fint hotellkomplex precis vid den långa vita stranden, två jätte fräscha poolområden och en restaurang som serverade jättegod mat, både till frukost lunch och middag.
