Very slow restaurant service π. It took them over one hour to bake a pizza and then we waited for 45 minutes for the bill which we got only asking for the bill 3 times in 45 minutes! If you don't want our money we will take it elsewhere! The pizza π was not good either, tasted very "rubber"-y not sure what flour was used.

The atmosphere is truly impressive: vast grounds, plenty of light and shade, a gorgeous pool, excellent pizza, delicious food, a bartender who makes cocktails, a clean beach with security, a friendly, well-trained staff, and, most importantly, a professional approach to everything. A very stylish place.

There's not enough words to describe the beauty and authenticity of this place. The blend of art and nature and the warm friendly hospitality of the staff is amazing

I can't comment on the rooms as we were day visitors using the beach facilities. As such, the location is fantastic. We rented sunbeds on the beach and found the service to be excellent. The Art installations around the property are also impressive. The property itself could do with an overhaul even though I do understand that in such an environment, maintaining a building is expensive and would mean continuous re-painting to keep it looking fresh and cared for. Lovely place to spend the day and staff are very friendly.
