Fabulous small cozy luxury spot with so much space that you find yourself alone on the beach most of the time. Food up to par and exclusive treatment.

Paradise

I can only say paradise….. Everything was simply perfect! Highly recommend to couples, families… The heavenly sea… From the food, to the rooms, to the cocktails. The bartender Thialak and another waiter were exceptional. My husband and son went to play soccer on the small field with the resort waiters every day and had a lot of fun. Humble and professional — TOP involvement! We will DEFINITELY be back!!!
