I loved it's quality of decor and furnishing, the spacious rooms, food choices, pool and access to the airport. It's more like a boutique hotel than guesthouse, I wish I'd been staying longer.

Really cute little hotel that is very modern and a short drive from some lovely beaches. The rooms are really well decorated and large and the pool area is really nice and clean with comfortable outdoor seating. Super close to the airport too which is nice.

This small boutique hotel, close to the airport is ideal for a quick stopover. The staff was amazing. A little oasis with a beautiful pool was a pleasant surprise. Highly recommend!
Daniel, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Super convenient overnight + easy walk to airport

A brief but great stay prior to early flight the next morning. Comfortable beds, great bathroom and spacious deluxe room on 1st floor. Parking adjacent and super convenient to the airport which was why we booked. Easy car hire drop off at the airport and then a 15 min walk back to the hotel via a restaurant for dinner. Easy system to return room entry cards if leaving at 4 am. Pleasant aspect over the nature reserve towards the airport although arrived and left in the dark so unable to fully appreciate this and the pool. Would stay again.

Hi, the hot tub was cold, the pool was cover, so we couldn’t use it. Breakfast was good and we paid 19 euros. Very near to the airport.

We were upgraded from a standard room which had a nice view. The complimentary drink was a nice touch. All the staff we encountered were great and the food was better than anticipated.It was an easy 15 minute walk to the airport - even in the dark.

Beautiful property, convenient to the airport. Lovely lunch and free drinks, rooms are clean and spacious. Lovely patio, Staff were very kind and helpful. The only thing I’d mention is the carpeting going up to the rooms is very dirty/stained.
