This 4.2-star rated hotel transforms the natural landscape into a wedding canvas where sea breezes and golden-hour light define the atmosphere.
My partner and I stayed at the hotel for 10 nights all inclusive and it was brilliant. The staff were incredible, hardest workers and had a great to have a laugh with. The food was great, different food every night. The beer and wine was good too. Fantastic location 2 minute walk from a large great beach with lots to do. A bus comes back and forth all day which can take you into the local town so you can explore from there. There is a car rental shop 3 minutes walk from the hotel which was amazing for us, when you’re done with car leave in the hotel and they will come to collect. Had an amazing time in this hotel, 100% recommended. We will definitely go back some day.
