Stunningly beautiful grounds. Extremely quiet which was what we were looking for. Very friendly and accommodating staff.

Raymond United States of America

Very clean, beautiful pool Friendly staff and management

Dennis United States of America

The room are quiet with an outside table and a place to relax.

Olivier United Arab Emirates

Relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff, and of course the location at Paje Beach.

Sharron Qatar

It was a perfect holiday, stuff super friendly. Place very clean.

Trish South Africa

The staff were absolutely lovely. We traveled with our toddler and it was perfect holiday for us. Great breakfast and very convenient with dinner at the hotel.

Roxanne South Africa

Great breakfast, gread dinner! Modern, functionable, spacy rooms!

Tilmann South Africa

The location is quite ok: it is almost the last resort on the paje beach, so not so many tourists. The food: breakfast varies each 2 days not so much, but still you can choose from fruits, egs, pastry, pancakes; dinner choose from 2 restaurants: the grill in the sand where they have a set menu and where the fun is (concerts, dancing etc) or upstairs where it is a more sofisticated menu. There is also a lunch menu: varried and quite good. We went out of the resort to have dinner 2 times and it is worth it, but not necessary. Try the restaurants and bars on the beach. The beach: very close-1 minut, also where kite dreamer school is, with a beach boy, towels and sun beds. Cleanliness: very goood. The staff: they all speak english and are very helful.

Irina Romania

The Food was really good and the rooms are exceptionally clean and very beautiful and spacious. The Private beach was also a great bonus as well as a variety of pools and the environment in general was great. Also the receptionist Mary was very professional and friendly.

Jacqueline Tanzania

We had a standard room and it was lovely - very clean, airy and light, and each room has its own porch/sitting area outside. There are also around 12 rooms to each pool so it was never too crowded if you wanted to go for a dip. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Location was perfect - the hotel has a small private area on the beach which is great. Food was good - we opted for half board and for dinner the restaurant is outdoors on the sand, so you dine under the stars.

Ainhoa United Kingdom
