Spacious, modern rooms, facing the sea. Silent during the night. Massive and delicious breakfast buffet. Staff friendly in all locations. Fair prices for drinks at the beach and diverse food offerings. Only downside is the gravel road of approx. 5km to arrive to the hotel, which makes the travel slightly uncomfortable.

Hands-down, the staff was very polite. But for a resort, there’s nothing open late at night to eat, and it was also very quiet and boring in the evenings- it didn’t have the Columbia vibe The rooms are awesome, and the staff is great!
