Amazing hotel, Thomas was helpful at every turn - my friend mentioned we were looking for fresh coconut water and he offered to get some coconuts to serve us that day! The servers Parakas and Russell were extremely attentive and friendly. The cook, whose name I didn’t get, was amazing. Every meal was delicious. Located right next to the bikini beach, we went swimming every day and felt extremely safe. The rooms are cleaned spotlessly every 3rd day, so your room is free of sand and receives fresh linen.
