  Perfect location near the airport with a gorgeous view

  Lighthouse is in a very quiet and peaceful location, perfect if you want somewhere relaxing to switch off. The staff were so warm, friendly, and genuinely helpful throughout our stay. It’s right next to a lovely beach, has a good-sized pool, and a really nice garden area that adds to the peaceful feel of the place.

  It’s important to know this isn’t an ultra-modern, slick five-star hotel, but it offers great value for money. Although it’s a little remote, it’s a good distance from the airport, which is convenient. Make sure to order your Uber at least 20 to 30 minutes before you need it, as they can take a while to arrive.

  Hidden gem

  The hotel pool was amazing and the staff were very attentive. Our room was very large with an amazing sea view.

  We only stayed for one night before flying back to the UK.

  Nice stay for short stop near airport

  A very well-maintained property with a beautiful sea view. Although the beach just outside the fence is untidy and not really used, the pool within the property is large and clean. We only stayed for one night, so we don’t have many impressions, but overall it’s a nice and well-kept place. It is quite remote—we arrived by taxi, and there are no shops or restaurants nearby, so you would need to travel by taxi or your own transport to get anywhere. The host is very caring and helpful.

  The room and bathroom are very simple, with only the basic necessities. Everything is a bit worn and could use some updating.
