Pros: The staff’s hospitality was incredibly warm — truly the best part of the entire hotel. We stayed in Villa C5, a standalone villa located across the courtyard. The space is large, with two bathrooms, which is very convenient. There are also two separate bedrooms that can accommodate 5–6 people, making it ideal for a family stay. The breakfast was absolutely amazing — the best part of every day was waking up and looking forward to it.
Cons: I’m not sure what the other rooms in this hotel are like, but I think there are quite a few areas for improvement in Villa C5 to make the hotel even better: 1.\tThe villa is on the ground floor, and the courtyard is open to come and take photos. However, the curtains are semi-transparent, so privacy is not very good. 2.\tThe courtyard was not well maintained. Tree branches were blocking parts of the walkway, and there are many steps. At night, there was no proper lighting — even using a flashlight, we almost tripped several times. 3.\tThere was a serious ant and insect problem in the room. This really needs attention. Ants crawled from the living room all the way to the kitchen, there were spiders in the bathroom, and strange bugs in the bedroom. We didn’t feel comfortable sitting on the sofa or placing anything on the floor, which made the stay quite unsettling. 4.\tThere was nowhere to put toiletries in the bathroom, which was inconvenient. The water pressure was very weak, and on some days the hot water was not hot enough. 5. The lighting throughout the entire villa felt insufficient. Combined with the dark color scheme of the interior design, staying there for a while started to feel somewhat gloomy.

A quirky friendly hotel.
Pros: The hotel was fun and quirky. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfasts were very good, lots of home made items ( jams, yoghourt, cakes, freshly squeezed juice ) and eggs were prepared to order.
Cons: Our room had a window opening on to an internal courtyard, so was quite dark, needing a light on all the time. A room with an external window would have been much better. We could see into the room opposite, so felt that we had to have our curtains closed more than we would have liked.

Gorgeous Hotel
Pros: I had an excellent stay at this hotel. The staff were exceptionally nice and very professional, making me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. The rooms were spacious and comfortable with a lot of natural light. The outdoor area is beautiful, with a stunning heated pool. The architecture, the furniture and the interior design are truly impressive; it feels like walking through a design museum. Breakfast was good. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay here and will definitely be back.
