The location was perfect, situated right next to an incredible dive center in a marine conservation area, making our diving adventures seamless. The facilities were excellent, with a relaxing ambiance that featured table tennis and billiards, while the cleanliness of the rooms was commendable. We particularly loved the buffet breakfast, which offered a delicious variety each morning.
