Thank you very much all for a decent stay for the weekend. Overall it was immaculately clean and huge, with a separate bathroom. The food was freshly made and there were a good choice of dishes in the menu. The property's location was good and beautiful, on an island long forgotten by investment. This hotel met every demand!
