Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests mostly appreciated the calm atmosphere, friendly and accommodating service, as well as the cleanliness of the hotel. Many enjoyed the breakfast options and found the location beautiful, although some noted that it was somewhat isolated, making access to surrounding areas a challenge. The Wi-Fi was a common complaint among guests, as it was often unreliable.

Ardjan, Mar 2025
Pros (+) What was not to like? Excellent location; really quiet away from the hustle and bustle of touristic places. Nice beach, really big villa (we had the 4 person) with view directly on the pool and beach and ocean. Really clean, super friendly staff, good breakfast, good choice of food for diner. We had a really great time.
Cons (-) Normally when power goes down (which is happens every now and again) the generator takes over within a couple of minutes/seconds except for our last night; it gets pretty hot without airco. I assume it was a one time problem as all the other nights were perfect. Besides that the mattress are quit hard so if that is your thing this is definitely the place to be.

Fiona, Jan 2025
Pros (+) The accommodation was spacious, modern but characterful and the location was outstanding. The balcony and downstairs terrace area were a bonus and it was great having a fridge and kitchenette. The air conditioning was really welcome, as were the mosquito nets. We were extremely pleased by the accommodation. The pool was a good size, with varying depths which made it suitable for all ages. The plan...
Cons (-) It would have been useful to have had some hangers and also more hooks to hang towels, but these were small issues and if we had raised them I am sure the staff would have done everything they could to have assisted us. It would have been helpful to know that the plugs were continental European style, rather than Tanzanian/3 pin plugs as we could then have brought our own adapters. However, this w...
