Comfy Beds!

I stayed in a Double Room and the beds were incredibly comfy. I had such a great night's sleep every night of my stay. Each room also had nice balcony spaces, which was a perfect touch for enjoying the breezes.

Stunning Infinity Pool!

The infinity pool overlooking the beach was absolutely stunning! It was kid-friendly and made for a great place to relax while watching the waves. My children loved it and we spent hours enjoying the sun!

Wonderful Room Experience

The Double Room was not only well-furnished but also had great features like air conditioning that kept us cool during the warm days. The entire set-up made our stay really enjoyable.

The comfy beds and nice balcony spaces added to my comfort, though I did wish the on-site restaurant had been open for breakfast. Overall, it was a relaxing getaway, but a few improvements could elevate the experience. 🌅
