Wish we could stay longer. We were only there for one evening. We arrived later in the evening and just grabbed our keys in front of the office, which was closed. Not an issue - there was a provided phone/whatsapp number for the staff who picked up right away and was on-site anyways. Loved the new renovations, including the new heating/lighting in the bathroom - welcome features as we visited during winter. Short ~10 min walk to the nearby restaurants, and down the street from the beach. Would stay again.

It was a short but nice stay. It appeared that in our room with the spa bath on the ground floor had some recent works done in the bathroom which looked nice. The room and surrounding area were very clean and the place was quiet but it was the off peak season. We arrived and checked out, outside of reception operating hours but the details on how to access our room key was communicated well.
