Ein sehr schönes kleines Hotel mit super netten Mitarbeitern. Sie kümmern sich um Alles und machen alles Machbare möglich. Hier wird der Service noch groß geschrieben. Man ist direkt am Strand, hat einen superschönen Ausblick auf das Meer und kann einfach in das wame Wasser gehen. Beim Buffet findet jeder etwas für sich und es ist sehr schmackhaft. Die Zimmer sind sehr groß, sauber und ordentlich. Ich hatte einen perfekten Blick auf den Strand. Der Pool lädt zum Schwimmen ein, wenn Ebbe herrscht. Das Personal verwöhnt einen die ganze Zeit mit Drinks und kleinen Aufmerksamkeiten. Ich habe die Zeit genossen.

Stille og rolig i Paradis

Eksepsjonelt bra service. Stille og rolig, her kan man nyte ferien uten å bli rent ned av beachboys hele tiden. Anbefaler all-inclusive da det ikke er spisesteder i nærheten. Maten er helt grei, men savnet dessert og noen sauser til å spice opp smakene litt. Resorten har en del år på baken, men blir godt vedlikeholdt. Men du blir tatt veldig godt vare på og anbefales for alle som vil nyte ferien i fred og ro.
