My stay at the hotel was simply fantastic! The rooms were spacious and offered breathtaking views, perfect for relaxing. The dining experience was generally satisfying with good variety but sometimes the execution could be hit or miss. The location on the inhabited island added a unique charm, surrounded by local culture and stunning beaches. The service was top-notch, but I wish the Wi-Fi had been more reliable; it sometimes let me down. So while there were minor hiccups, the overall experience was highly enjoyable.
