I enjoyed my stay at Bay Villas, which had a great atmosphere and was very peaceful. The room was comfortable and had all the essentials, but the lack of a lift made it a bit tricky for anyone with mobility issues.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the location was excellent, within walking distance to shops and the marina, the room left a lot to be desired in terms of cleanliness and comfort. The friendly reception staff were a highlight, but I encountered a frustrating situation with the room facilities, which detracted from my overall enjoyment of the stay. The pool area was nice, offering a pleasant spot to relax during my time there.

We had a great experience at the resort. The apartment was spacious and spotlessly clean, and getting our keys was hassle-free even though we arrived late. It was conveniently located within a 10-minute walk to the town and 15 minutes to the marina. However, the furnishings felt a bit dated and could use some upgrades, and the after-hours contact process was a little tricky. Overall, a solid choice for a relaxing stay.
