The scenery of the island is beautiful, with clear seawater. The hotel is clean and hygienic, and the service is warm and attentive. Every day on the island, we feel happy, comfortable and peaceful. A special thanks goes to our butler, Ramses. He is very professional and enthusiastic, and has made all the arrangements meticulously.
