With a terrace, the 1-star hotel has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a private bathroom. The accommodation features room service, a concierge service and organising tours for guests. Charming and quiet boutique hotel with 2 pools. The hotel is well maintained and extremely clean. The rooms are nicely decorated and the bed is very comfortable. Great water pressure (which is not always the case in the island). Delicious breakfast (I loved the avocado toasts). Only 1 minute away from the beach with nice bars / restaurants around. Also a lot of delicious local restaurants in the village only 10 minutes away by walk. The staff is really friendly and welcoming and helpful. I highly recommend this gem ❤️ (On the pictures: Room with pool view / the bar on the beach near the hotel)
