The breakfast offered loads of options. It was delicious and started my morning well. The hotel has two pools. The guesthouse had its own pool. It was great because the main pool got quite busy and was in the shade a lot.

Location

The location is in a more peaceful area outside the main town and near the beaches. I enjoyed nice evening strolls on our way to dinner looking over the water. It was really great to explore the surrounding areas.
