A hidden paradise! I enjoyed waking up to the sound of birds in the lush surroundings. The pool was clean and refreshing. Since I can't swim, the shallow pool was perfect for me. It was truly a peaceful stay. I highly recommend this hotel for a relaxing getaway.

Well as I always say you get what you pay for we opted for a cheap b and b so we would go out and sample local restaurants This was worse than expected staff are very dour and surly, rooms are in need of an upgrade we paid for an upgrade which literally meant two beds instead of one. Breakfast was mediocre but again staff were rude and unwilling to help! We witnessed several occasions we were disssed with one an elderly gentleman drop a plate of food there was no attempt at cleaning up or help! Reception don't recognise you when you come in or leave no smiles on faces that do really make a difference. Bar closes at 7 or 8 and last orders for meals is 7.30pm so forget about evening drinks We booked a 4pm slot to use the guest room to shower before we leave only to be told there was none!! Oh yeah and access to the beach was through a hole in the fence!! We ended up using deia beach and Bougainvillea resort Not a happy bunny. Only positive is WIFI which is good. Read less

Had a great week staying here in January, rooms cleaned daily to a good standard & towels replaced daily. Only ate breakfast here which was good if a bit basic. Staff were all friendly enough, none of the attitude that some other reviews have said they had. Overall a great stay & fantastic value for money.
