What a great place to have your holiday. We’re can I start the hotel so beautiful location is perfect is like paradise next to the beach and I know is mark 3 star but I felt like I was 4 star. The place was clean and well maintained everyday house keepers cleaning your room every day. The food is so delicious and not to mention the drinks are top 10. Reasonable price. Now I want to say how great the staff are. From the gardeners and the house keeping and specially the restaurant and bar staff alway makes you feel like special from the moment you arrived. Now I would like to mention one special person that made our holiday magical Mr Francis,he goes above and beyond to make sure your taking care off and looked after, not just us I seen him with every visitor that arrived, massive smile polite and helpful all the time my holiday wouldn’t be the same if wasn’t for him. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone who’s coming to znz for the honeymoon vacation or just a nice relaxing getaway.

Virkelig et fantastisk sted med en virkelig skøn stemning. Personalet er meget hjælpsomme og man føler nærmest at man får et personligt forhold til dem. De tager sig af gæsterne og gør alt for at man skal føle sig hjemme. Beliggenheden er perfekt til ro og afslapning helt tæt på den fantastiske strand. Der er et forholdsvis lille udvalg på menukortet, men det der er, er virkelig lækre retter. Vi har planer om at vende tilbage.
