"The place was really good the staff was wonderful. Except for one person, the blonde hair lady that does the breakfast, she's not that approachable and nice. Very neat and clean. And you're very close to a supermarket which is also a plus!! The music in the pool area in the later part of the day is not as thrilling. It's sade type of music for about 3 or 4 hours"

"We had an amazing stay here! The place itself was beautiful, and all of the staff were incredibly kind, friendly, and helpful throughout our stay. A special mention to the man serving breakfast; he was absolutely great and made our mornings even better with his friendly and welcoming service. All of the amenities were excellent, and the place was really clean. We especially loved the swimming pool and the views. Overall, one of the best places I’ve stayed at, and we would definitely recommend coming here. I’d also suggest having your own transport, unless you’re a big fan of hikes, as the location is a little out of the way. This is obviously not the hotel’s fault, though. Other than that, definitely 5/5!"
