"Lovely boutique hotel in the beach - great pool - fantastic friendly attentive staff. Me and my son stayed in an economy room garden view - all good - comfy bed - mosquito net - even turndown service before bed - nice touch. Beach is fantastic - can hire local boat out to reef for nice snorkelling - walk 30 - 40 min on beach into Paje kitesurfing central and restaurants, drinking spots abound. There are some other hotels nearby on beach slightly north - can walk to for dinner - but we advise...

" This has to be one of the best hotels I have stayed in..ever! And I am not a novice traveller, I’ve stayed in lots of luxury hotel chains but the aesthetics, customer service and vibe at this beautiful boutique tops them all. I had a feeling I would enjoy my stay at booking when the manager Madalina messaged me. There was something about her messages that made me feel special and that the hotel wanted to do everything to assure my stay was comfortable. When I arrived I was upgraded to one...

"Firstly, the employees are great and very helpful! The hotel is right on the beach, and close to other beach hotels, and restaurants. Easy access to kite surfing, scuba, and jet skis. You can also walk out what seems to be a mile into the ocean without having to swim. Beautiful beach! Having got the larger suite, bedroom, bathroom, and balcony were 10/10. The entrance room however was a little dirty, and the amenities, were a little dated. The couch is definitely not to be slept on either....

"We had a lovely family bungalow for our 3 night stay and this hotel is in a good location. Donna the masseuse was excellent, and the staff were all very welcoming. The only downside was the restaurant had limited vegetarian options for our daughter and the lighting in the evening didn't make it feel cosy so we ate elsewhere. The Kuza cave is only around 20 minutes walk away and well worth a visit."
