Each accommodation at the 5-star hotel has sea views, and guests can enjoy access to a restaurant and to a bar. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi throughout the property. We spent the last two nights of our honeymoon here and it was absolutely amazing. The hotel is calm, private and peaceful, with only six apartments, each offering a private pool and a stunning direct view of the ocean. The atmosphere is truly romantic and perfect for relaxing. The staff were wonderful, always smiling, attentive, and making sure everything was perfect. Breakfast was delicious, the service impeccable, and the location just 10 minutes from Paje makes it very convenient while still feeling secluded. It was very very big for just 2 of us, it’s just perfect pour a family of 4 or 5 They are planning to add two more apartments, but the construction is completely hidden and doesn’t disturb guests at all. A wonderful and unforgettable stay that we will always cherish!
