I had an amazing stay, with a beautiful beach featuring powdery white sand and crystal-clear waters. The staff was attentive and made us feel valued, and the food was outstanding, particularly the Italian dishes. On the downside, while the rooms were clean, they didn't offer a sea view, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I'd definitely return.

This beautiful boutique hotel is right on the beach and provides a peaceful, adult-friendly atmosphere. The staff is incredibly attentive, making sure every need is met while allowing privacy during your stay. The restaurant offers delicious meals with stunning ocean views, though the beach can be lively with vendors. Overall, a perfect spot for relaxation, though it may not be ideal for families with young children due to the remoteness.
