All of the servers was phenomenal, attentive, friendly, professional, and always one step ahead of anything we needed. You can tell when someone genuinely takes pride in making guests feel special, and that level of hospitality made such a lasting impression on us. Thank you for going above and beyond and making our time here so...
"From the moment we arrived, the staff were so lovey and friendly.
Our room was very nice and clean with a lovely big balcony. There was construction happening across the way, but this was minimal noise and all finished by 5pm each day.
A beautiful big breakfast was delivered to our room each morning.
The location was a very easy short walk to main shopping street.
Would 💯 recommend this accomodation."
"We got the room with pool. It was bigger than expected which was a pleasant surprise, and the room itself was spacious. The buffet breakfast was great quality with a variety of options. The highlight was the service provided by staff; everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful. Very sad to leave this resort."
