Beautiful guesthouse in a good location. The closest accommodation to the tourist bikini beach. What absolutely exceeded our expectations was the service of the very nice and professional staff. Don't go to eat anywhere else on the island. In this accommodation you will get the best food and service. As a wonderful surprise, they arranged a candlelit dinner right on the beach for us. Precise service as in a six-star resort. We loved our stay at the Ocean Lilly Inn. We would love to come back again and can only recommend this place to everyone.
Wery nice hotel. Perfect service. Coconuts when you want. You can borrow chess game of things to snorcheling. Close to bikini beach, you have to go in the evening to see shining plancton. You can havr bufet dinner and bteakfast. Dinner wasnt very special, but not bad and you can try more dishes. And finaly we got a present to remember the visit.
