Immediately upon entering we were made to feel like VIP guests, a warm welcome from all the staff (who were phenomenal throughout and went the extra mile), fresh calamari’s juice and a cold towel, and a private lift to our villa. We were delighted with our initial room, however shortly after we arrived we were given a free upgrade to THE BEST VILLA on the property, which had the most beautiful interior, all the amenities and more, as well as a beautiful private pool. The location was remote, but everything you could need is onsite, including one of the best restaurants on the island.

The only downside was the Wi-Fi which did not work at all, the staff did try their best to rectify this but to no avail, however we did stay during a pretty severe storm and I wonder if that played a part.

The room is rather nice, the landscape, the restaurant is well positioned. The swimming pool has a very good size. The staff were friendly.

The beach is too far from the resort and they charged the transport to the beach and the beach is lovely in terms of the white fine sand but not really attractive to swim because it's full of boats moaring and the sand with lots of dried sea weeds.

The staff were very nice and friendly. Sadly, the resort looked sad. There were unsightly buildings on the property.

The road you take to the resort is not safe for your cars. We drove our car to the resort but the huge pot holes prevented us from using it. We ended up spending money on transportation. The resort offered a van for short distance driving. The manager was nowhere to be seen. We stayed for 3 nights. Breakfast got boring. Not much selection.
