More than met our expectations .. highly recommend

More than exceeded our expectations. Very accommodating and helpful staff and a perfectly comfortable and nicely presented room. The upstairs jacuzzi and sun loungers that came with our suite were great and it is an oasis of tranquility just metres away from the Caldera view madness and cruise ship hordes.

Our hotel room was very clean and spacious. Our cleaning lady Lia, was very sweet. She kept our room tidy and even helped us carry out our luggage to the car.

We had an awesome stay. Kosta was a super host who made sure we were well taken care of from check in to check out. The room was nice and clean. It was in the heart of things and everything was accessible. The only downside was that there was not a smart tv in the room. But all in all we would stay there again and recommend to other guests. 10/10
