I was looking for a chill, boutique style hotel to relax, S&S was a great choice. Great and attentive staff, nice & clean rooms. The pool is pretty basic. Would be nice if it were bigger.

Een top hotel! We hadden een prachtige kamer met zeezicht. Elke dag werd de kamer goed schoongemaakt. Vriendelijk personeel. Het enige puntje is dat het ontbijt wat meer variatie kan gebruiken. Elke ochtend kreeg je hetzelfde menu, eieren met toast/wafel en een stuk fruit. Ook is er rondom de omgeving van het hotel niet veel te beleven en ben je al gauw geneigd om dure excursies te boeken.
