We had a fantastic stay in the superior villa which was the middle villa of the three available.
Everything was spotlessly clean and matched the listing photos and details. Very well equipped and comfy. The pool was great for a cool down and was clean and there was a net so you could keep it clean of any insects. It's an outdoor pool in nature so is to be expected! There was options for sun and shade all day.
The sunsets from the upstairs terrace were stunning. The best sunset we have ever...

Location excellent, easy to walk to town and most places of interest. Hotel spacious and very clean and comfortable. Staff friendly, helpful and efficient. We would stay there again and would recommend. Only downside was the bed too hard for me personally. Definitely worth paying extra for the beautiful harbour view.

I arrived in the middle of the night, after a 4 hour delay on my flight - there was no-one at the hotel, but the key was where they had said (by text) it was, and I found my room OK. It had an end of season feel about it (I think I was the only guest) and a few things weren't working, but they weren't necessary, and as I got the room at a considerable discount, I had no reason to complain.

I've stayed at this hotel before. I will recomend it to everybody. Well situated,clean and comfortable.
