Editor's note
This hotel excels in its offering of numerous private pools attached to individual villas and bungalows, providing an exclusive and intimate swimming experience. These private pools offer sea views and ample lounging space. While a main outdoor pool is mentioned, details about its features and service are sparse, leaving the private pools as the definite highlight.
Pool details confirmed against the hotel's own website plus at least one independent source. No editor has visited in person. Booking links may earn us a commission; they never influence the ranking order.
