Meer moet dat niet zijn.

9.0

Rustig hotel, verzorgd ontbijt, fantastisch uitzicht, mooie stranden in de buurt. Lokatie is gegeerd voor huwelijksfeesten maar wij hadden daar relatief weinig last van.

Taalvaardigheid van het personeel.

Guest review

8.0

Beautiful location of the hotel, a bit isolated from the rest which gives charm to it. Spacious two bedroom room for us as a family of 4, not many people in the hotel overall due to its size. Adorable plant smells everywhere.

Food in the restaurant I would rate 3 out of 5. Also we had a very unusual experience of sneakers disappearing from our room. My son came in the shoes but at the end they have just vanished. This story stops me from putting a higher rating for our staying.

Great location and pool.

Location and pool

Value was not great. Some issues in the room such as arriving with dirty dishes in the dishwasher and broken remotes. For the price I would expect it to be immaculate.
