Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers spectacular views over the lagoon and a convenient location on the beach. The rooms are always impeccably clean and include daily restocked fridges with water, along with tea and coffee making facilities. However, the lack of readiness at the shuttle boat pier can be a slight inconvenience. The customer service, especially from the main manager, is outstanding, with personalized attention to guests' needs like rushing to fulfill requests even before departure.

The service was exceptional, especially from the main manager and Samir, our attentive waiter. The location is delightful, particularly being placed in an overwater suite closest to the beach. The dining experience was top-notch with gorgeous salads and Sicilian pastries. Overall, a wonderful stay.
