Spacious, modern rooms, facing the sea. Silent during the night. Massive and delicious breakfast buffet. Staff friendly in all locations. Fair prices for drinks at the beach and diverse food offerings. Only downside is the gravel road of approx. 5km to arrive to the hotel, which makes the travel slightly uncomfortable.

They treated us so well here I didn't mind the incidental charges. Be prepared to pay for every meal and every trip both ways to the city. This location is for families and relaxation but the Walled city is vibrant and culturally rich! The last 20 minutes of the ride to this location is rocky because the road is not paved. Transport by car is cheaper than by boat, so I recommend an SUV by land because the ride is a little smoother than a regular sedan.
