Apart-Hotel Lili2

10/10 Excellent

"A lovely modern Apartment, very nice room with a fantastic balcony. A small Cafe owned by Hotel did a nice basic breakfast £5/ea, parking by hotel, although the access road is a little step. Located up the hill a little and 20mins out from the Prominade, but there's loads of Bars & Restaurants everywhere. Only thing missing from apartment is a Toaster, it did have a Sandwich maker, but not the same."

Litan Hotel

Litan Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great time at Litan hotel. Booked a room with balcony and sea view, had a fantastic sea views especially during sunset hours. Very clean rooms and pretty new built. Staffs were amazing and friendly. I wanted to tell people to try lunch and dinner menus as well. However, breakfast could feel like a routine but that’s how it would be in all the hotels if you’re staying for 4-5 days."

Kerculla Resort

The hotel offers transport at a reasonable price. The food and drink are well priced and of high quality, the rooms are very spacious and have a great feel. I will definitely stay again"
