Due to a flight cancellation, I ended up staying an extra day on the island and naturally chose this hotel again. I booked a smaller family suite—though labeled as compact, it was actually quite spacious. Two queen beds plus a sofa bed easily accommodated four people with room to spare. That unexpected extra day turned into pure relaxation: lounging by the pool, enjoying the sea views, and savoring delicious meals. The hotel restaurant prices are comparable to local dining options across the street, where there’s also a supermarket nearby. I picked up wine and snacks to enjoy back in the room—such a nice touch. The main pool is filled with seawater, perfect for floating with your head just above the surface. There’s also a second pool down a few steps, and if you’re confident in the water, you can even swim out into the open sea. It’s such a unique and peaceful experience—highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind in a beautiful coastal setting.

This was hands down our most satisfying hotel stay yet.

The rooms were spacious, impeccably clean, and offered stunning views of the ocean. The only downside was parking, which was a bit tricky, and it took about 15 minutes to walk to the city center.

The rooftop terrace was absolutely perfect for watching the sunset; we spent evenings there enjoying the view and the cool evening breeze. The room was spacious, with a large shower and a very comfortable bed—great for a good night’s sleep. The cleaning staff did an excellent job every day, replacing towels and tidying up without fail. Communication with the host over the phone was smooth, friendly, and always reliable. Breakfast was decent, though after a few days it started to feel repetitive—same cheese and ham every morning. A bit more variety would definitely improve the experience. One minor downside: the sound from air conditioners across the street can be noticeable, especially if you’re a light sleeper. We got used to it, but bringing earplugs is a smart move. Overall, this place offers great value, fantastic vibes, and a memorable stay. Would definitely return.

The bed was incredibly comfortable—I’m usually not a fan of hotel pillows, but these were surprisingly good. Breakfast was generous and varied, with something for everyone. Whether you like fresh pastries, eggs, or local treats, there’s a little bit of everything. Overall, this hotel delivers excellent value and a memorable experience. I’d happily come back.
