    The Staff were super friendly as well as the boss. We had a room for one night, but booked it for 3 cause we liked it a lot. The second night our A/C broke. The manager found us another room in order for us to feel really like home and comfortable...

    Fowzi made us feel so welcome. He is funny, has a great personality and knew how to talk to teenagers. The 3 of us did surfing lessons with him and "his brother". I am scared of waves and they both made me feel so safe and I was able to stand on...
