i was impressed by the cleanliness of the private beach. the beach service was attentive with prompt delivery of towels and refreshments. it was easy to relax here. the architecture and layout of the hotel are beautiful. i found plenty of activities available to occupy my time (i liked the spa!).

the hotel's location faces a turquoise bay. it creates an impression of isolation, separate from other properties. it is a short taxi ride to a nearby town if one wishes to explore outside of the hotel.

Really good Service and Beautiful Setting
mountain sidegorgeous beachfriendly staffsunbed availability
This must be my seventh visit. The hotel setup is beautiful with rooms nestled in the mountainside. The beach and pools are gorgeous. There were plenty of sunbeds available. The staff are friendly and are ready to assist with requests.
Unfortunately, the evening music from the bar area played until late. The noise was audible in the rooms. It was difficult to sleep with the music.
