“This hotel makes a virtue of its island setting, offering a serene escape once the day's visitors depart. I especially appreciate the uncomplicated, delicious food that exceeds expectations. For a proper recharge in a beautiful locale, a few days here should do the trick, especially in one of the bungalows with direct sea access.”
