Our stay at this beautiful boutique hotel was nothing short of magical! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the breathtaking views of the sea! Every morning felt like a dream waking up to such a breathtaking sight. The breakfast until ~10:30 was absolutely delicious, with a wonderful variety to choose from. It was the perfect way to start our days! The restaurants nearby were great as well! But what truly made our stay exceptional was the staff. The team here is incredibly warm, welcoming, and went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Their kindness and attention to detail made our experience unforgettable. We cannot recommend this hotel enough, it’s a true gem! If you’re looking for a peaceful retreat with stunning views, a small pool fantastic food and outstanding service, look no further. Book this one! Even the last drink was on the house! Thank you for an amazing stay! 🌊

We have a Great stay over all! We stayed 3 nights. The location is perfect near restaurants and small center, the view of the see is amazing as well! Unfortunately we really had a small room near the elevator, the fact that it needs the key for the AC to work makes the room so hot, the bed was not really comfortable. However, we enjoyed the stay and it was only for 3 days so it was ok!
