exceptional oasis

breathtaking views

Let’s talk about what really matters

An exceptional oasis filled with elegance! From the breathtaking views to the impeccable service, my stay was remarkable. The outdoor shower was a delightful surprise, while the turn-down service with a warm water bottle added a touch of comfort. Dining was a treat, especially the lively atmosphere with piano music enhancing our experience. Can’t wait to return!

inconsistent hot water

The penthouse suite was incredible, with a private jacuzzi and a cozy fireplace that made our stay feel special. We loved unwinding in the spa and enjoyed the refreshing outdoor swimming pool. The only downside was that the hot water was a bit inconsistent, but it didn’t ruin our experience. 😊
