"Wonderfull hotel with amazing garden. Nice staff. Clean. Very good breakfast. We were not that impressed with the dinners we had on the hotel, we prefered the other restaruants just outside the hotel instead. Be prepared for many stairs and some steep pathways, as the rest of the island. "

"This property is a beautiful place to come and relax near the ocean. The adults only portion is quiet and well maintained. No music played at the pool area, just the noise of the nearby sea. Breakfast was good and served at the scenic restaurant overlooking the water. The spa was beautiful and relaxing with views of the ocean from the Finish and Bio spa, with a Turkish bath also there. Yes, free hotel parking can be difficult to find as it is limited. Paid street parking was widely available for...
