The hotel had a beautiful design and spacious rooms that felt very homey. Although some amenities could use improvements, especially regarding the dining experience, overall, it was a decent stay. The location was delightful, close to two villages and right on a lovely stretch of beach.

Rooms

The rooms were spacious and well designed, complete with a nice balcony that really added to the experience. However, the bathroom layout could have been better since there was no door separating it from the bedroom, and the fan was a bit noisy, making it hard to sleep soundly.

I really enjoyed my stay at this boutique hotel, especially with its stunning view right in front of the pool and beautiful gardens. The rooms were stylish and comfortable, but I found it a bit warm due to the lack of air conditioning in the deluxe room. The service was fantastic, especially from Charles at reception and Habiba at the restaurant, but the dining experience was a bit lacking in variety. Overall, it was a good value for a peaceful getaway.
