Reviews from Google
Stayed here for 4 Nights at their Superior Double room. Rooms were very spacious, just the bathroom is a bit outdated but its fine. Location is beach front , they have a beach restaurant for breakfast and lunch. For dinner there are a couple restaurants down in the main road. Wifi was decently strong connection. Service was excellent. This resort has the Silver beach, a nice little small cove beach, peaceful and nothing like beachclub vibes. Highly recommended if you want somewhere quiet. Away from the hustle and bustle. Highly recommended! Good value
I enjoyed my stay here, nice rooms, replenished towels everyday for beach and shower use and nice access to beach, scooter rental and hot showers. Rooms NEED to have shower hooks though ?? I’m surprised there are zero spots to hang towels?
This resort impressed me for the value and service we received. We were upgraded to a room at the beach. Fantastic location with impressive service and highly recommended Loved all the cats they look after ❤️

Pool Villa Doesn't Mean Expensive
