“Nestled within the Plemmirio Marine Reserve, this hotel offers a unique coastal experience with access to both a sandy beach and rocky reef. While some find the interiors a touch dated, the prospect of alfresco dining overlooking the sea, coupled with the attentive staff, creates a memorable stay. The location is ideal for those seeking tranquility away from the city.”
