Families find the resort particularly accommodating with large family bungalows and a supportive environment for children and kite surfers. The beachfront location remains a highlight, although some find it better suited for activities like kitesurfing rather than swimming due to seaweed and rocky areas. Despite varied feedback on bed comfort, some guests do find the beds satisfactory.

Breakfast

While some found the breakfast to be really great and the food on-site to be very good with charming and friendly staff, others were less impressed, citing issues with the quality and the pricing. It's noted that the breakfast is not included in the room price and needs to be purchased separately with some guests finding it a bit expensive for what was offered.

However, there are some downsides. The food and drinks at the hotel are slightly more expensive compared to nearby options and the café by the sea, though beautifully located, has a limited menu and a long wait time for orders. Additionally, the restaurant closes quite early at 7:00 PM, which may be inconvenient for some guests.
