"Tolle Wohneinheit mit guter Ausstattung und alles sehr sauber. Personal an der Rezeption extrem freundlich und hilfsbereit. Gute Klimaanlage im Zimmer. Die Wohneinheit ist jedoch leider etwas abgelegen auf einem Berg und ein Auto wäre ratsam. Für uns ging es auch ohne, aber man muss Fußweg zum Bus einplanen und Busse fahren nur bis ca 19:30. Ich habe vorab über Expedia gefragt, ob wir unser Gepäck an der Rezeption abgegeben können, leider wurde nicht geantwortet. Es war aber ohne Probleme...

"While our stay at this location was short, it was fantastic. They have put in quite a bit of work to make the hotel clean and well taken care of, they rent electric assist bicycles to get to town for groceries or exploring. My family loved the hot springs. Laundry onsite. Beautiful beach nearby, although not great for swimming or snorkeling it was very pretty, quiet, and private. Staff is incredibly helpful. They sell packages that include breakfast and dinner, but not lunch. The buffets are HUGE with tons of food and drink options. I 100% would stay here again."
