“Very unusual and beautiful place. We were picked up at the airport as we had booked a transfer in advance, brought us to shore, put us in a boat and taken us to the reception. It turned out to be unusual and cute. I liked the hotel. A free breakfast for 2 people is guaranteed, if you live more than 4 days, you can order half board. Our child stayed free of charge. In the pool there is a children’s compartment for swimming, and the beach is only 50 meters away” Tatiana
