Amazing hotel, lovely atmosphere, friendly staff. Just beautiful, like in the pictures. Decorated with an eye for detail and aesthetic. Dinner exceeded our expectations, was extraordinary. Also the setting of the dinner was super nice and romantic, we really enjoyed just staying in the hotel and having dinner there. Manny, the owner of the hotel, also puts effort into having a chat with his guests, which we really appreciated and just made the whole experience more personal. Location was ideal for us as kitesurfers, not far from Geroda beach.

Our stay at Mida Creek hotel offered a serene escape. Hotel's location provided a peaceful ambiance ideal for relaxation. There was the option to use a boat for transport to the opposite shore, adding a touch of adventure. Hotel's intimate atmosphere and personalized service made for a cozy retreat. The amenities, from comfortable rooms to scenic waterfront views, were thoughtfully designed for our comfort and enjoyment. The attentive and professional staff further elevated our experience. It would be 10/10 but...
