Mikaela Sweden

This is an amazing, perfectly located hotel. Everything was perfect. Will get back in the future again.

Roman United Kingdom

I really don’t understand why this hotel doesn’t have a 10 in reviews because it is more than deserved. We had a beautiful room with sea view, the room was always very clean, the view was spectacular! The staff is super friendly, the food is just AMAZING. I can’t wait to come back to this wonderful hotel.

Aleksandra Germany

Everything. The location is superb, the rooms are pretty and very comfortable, the shower is awesome, nice balcony with a view. Two nice pools and a whole bay of sea to choose from. Breakfast and dinner are awesome with many choices, and one can sit outside for the morning sun and the nice warm evenings. Furthermore the staff is very friendly, throughout the hotel but special compliments for the restaurant staff, they are really great and will do everything to accommodate you. Stayed one extra night for the same price even though the price was actually higher. Truly a great choice to completely relax.

Sebastian Netherlands

Everything was great, we were here for the third time, I think we will come back again

Mira Slovakia

The hotel location is perfect. The hotel and the rooms are clean. I was satisfied with the very polite staff, the food.

György Hungary

Staff, especially the two older gentlemen serving at the restaurant, the bartender, the ladies at the sauna. The pool is nice, the park is beautiful and taken care of,

Agnes Hungary

My wife and me spent in Carolina hotel and villas altogether 34 days in five visits and we almost feel like we are at home

Andrej Croatia

Just delightful. Brand new hotel, tastefully decorated, welcoming staff. I’m sincerely not a fan of buffet dinners, but since it was included in our booking, we decided to give it a try. Honestly the best buffet I’ve ever had. In a secluded area of the island, even though the beach is public, it’s incredibly clean and calm.

Maksym France

Spectacular location. Great swimming pools. Kind and helpful staff.
