Really good stay in a relaxing oasis
generous spaceaccurate photosbeautiful plants
The room size surprised me. It felt more generous than anticipated! The space matched the photos accurately, and this. I also found the outdoor area nicely decorated with beautiful plants and trees. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout my visit.
The toilets at reception shared with the pool WERE not very clean.
Facilities
9/10
The hotel features a swimming pool with two small jacuzzi sections. The pool area is surrounded by palm trees that offer some shade and enhance the secluded, quiet ambiance for all guests. There is also on-site parking.
Service
10/10
The staff are very attentive and accommodating. They allowed us to use the external facilities, including the pool, bathroom, and bar, even after our check-out time on the day of departure. THIS was very convenient. The team also replied promptly to email inquiries.
Location
9/10
The location offers BOTH tranquility and convenience, even though it's near the nightlife. It is close to the beach and also offers easy access to restaurants. It is located in the heart of downtown and provides convenient access to nearby attractions.
