The hotel offers stunning and very spacious rooms with one of the best sea views, although cleanliness upon arrival was an issue. The service was excellent; the staff was helpful, friendly, and efficient in providing all necessary amenities. The location is unbeatable, right on the almost deserted beach, with well-trained staff offering various activities. The dining experience was a bit basic, with a small selection, although the Spanish dishes were amazing.

The hotel lets in too much light in the morning, making it difficult to sleep in. It has a nice location to escape from a busy lifestyle with beautiful surroundings, but lacks water and has worn-out furniture and dirty carpet. The dining experience is not elaborate, yet the atmosphere is good. The staff is nice, super helpful, and welcoming. The hotel provides excellent service with special thanks to Ms. Fatou for her professional and customer-centric approach.
