The location was convenient. It's a short drive into the main area. the pool is large and it never felt crowded. i found having a well-stocked supermarket on-site really helpful.

sea view friendly staff clean rooms great apartment

The apartment offered a great view of both the pool and the sea. Staff members were always friendly and helpful. I found the rooms to be clean and well-kept. The apartment size suited my needs well.

Mosquitoes were present. Management should install mosquito nets on doors and windows.

The hotel is located a convenient five-minute drive from the main hub. A taxi provides easy access to main amenities. This proximity allows for quick trips into the area, yet maintains a sense of peacefulness.
