20 Aug 2024
I liked the scale of the resort - it felt very select, personal and friendly. Lovely gardens, plenty of sun beds at the beach and sofas by the beach bar, with a lovely atmosphere in the restaurant and lounge area in the evening. The food was amazing, especially the grilled fish. Ally (manager) was always present especially during dining and the staff were so welcoming. I loved the resort and hope to return.

“Very good”
03 Aug 2024
The space. It is a very large property with not too many rooms. Always a free lounge chair on the first row. Very nice bar to have a bite of food or a drink seating watching the sea. The staff is very friendly and the guest manager Ali is super friendly as the rest of the staff.
