"This hotel is probably not a 5-star, more like a good 4-star.
The rooms are interestingly decorated and feature a spacious, comfortable terrace. The room has everything you could need, from an iron to umbrellas. There's a capsule coffee machine, milk, and complimentary fruit. The towels and bathrobes are spotless white, and champagne flutes are provided. The terrace has a very comfortable sofa and a fan, and even candles for a romantic evening. The grounds are beautiful and well-maintained. There are plenty of sun loungers, and the service is excellent.
Breakfasts are superb! There's absolutely everything you could want. Lots of vegetables, fruits, and they bake wonderful pancakes and waffles.
Downsides:
The most disappointing aspect is the beach. In June, swimming is impossible as the water is only knee-deep and unsightly dark green coral is visible. We didn't even bother renting paddleboards.
The prices at the on-site restaurants are significantly inflated. The hotel is located on a hill, making it difficult to get around in the heat. The nearest shop is a 15-minute walk away.
Housekeeping: Upon check-in, we noticed stains on the floor. While there's no wet cleaning during your stay, a more thorough cleaning between guests should be mandatory. The bathtub also didn't inspire confidence; we didn't dare fill it due to visible streaks.
Housekeeping comes twice a day, but they sometimes forgot to restock certain toiletries.
Also, guests with infants or elderly individuals might find it less comfortable due to the many stairs."
