Reviews and Ratings
What a gem of a hotel! The rooms are cozy with lovely white decor and a comfy king-size bed. The service is exceptional, with staff going above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The location couldn't be better, just a few steps from the beautiful Paje beach. The dining experience offered a good variety of options. A great value for the price we paid.
