4/5Pleasant, comfortable stay on a spectacular…
Liked: I loved my room, it was so comfortable and spacious, with fridge, TV and balcony. The beach was beautiful - soft yellow sand and turquoise waters, never too crowded. The food was good, varied, fresh and excellent value for money.
Watch out: Really small points: there could have been better lighting in the bathroom.
