Fantastic stay with special moments

stylish room clean room friendly staff

The rooms were fine. They were stylish and very clean. I especially loved that the location of the hotel is perfect. I must mention that the staff were friendly and welcomed me with a warm smile each day. The entire place was super clean, and both pools were fine. (I especially enjoyed the outdoor pool.). The food was fresh and delicious. I would definitely recommend this place. I am already looking forward to a return.

This resulted in its closure. The noise was minimal, but I was sad that I couldn't use the facilities.

The team was friendly and ALWAYS available. the location is perfect for exploring the island. the room was spacious and clean, with amazing views from the water side. the bathroom included a hot tub with a full opening window. It was a GREAT design!

The hotel is a bit noisy. You can hear footsteps and doors closing, so it isn't the most relaxing place.
