    Bed was slightly hard for my liking but that’s just personal taste

    The staff were exceptional - went above and beyond and were always available to help. Location was excellent, just in front of the property is bikini beach and the hotel puts up sunbeds for you on request

    Fantastic location and really lovely, clean rooms. The restaurant downstairs has delicious food. Staff are very helpful and welcoming. The little beach in front is beautiful.

    Construction noise: They are building another hotel attached to the existing one. Too many cats in & out of the building.

    Beach front: Has a nice sandy beach with emerald green water Good location: can see sunrise from the room, sunset from a few minutes walking, Good communication: they arranged transportation, Very caring & friendly staff

    Indeed you can smell the cats! The first day it was a bit annoying but then we got used to it I guess. Luckilly there’s no such smell in the rooms, only in the lobby and corridors. A bit of disappointment were the sunbeds as most of them were damaged and not fully functional. The last thing were the construction works happening just by the guesthouse. It’s quite annoying as you can hear it in the rooms and at the beach so better to change the location during the day. The calm day is on Fridays as it’s a day off.

    Great atmosphere, the rooms are directed to the seaside view which is amazing. Breakfast selection is basic but tasty. There’s a nice vibe in front od hotel as many people come around for lunch and diner. Really cozy place ro stay. We enjoyed it a lot!

I stayed for a total of 6 days and as a solo female traveler I had no concerns or problems during my stay.

    A new hotel building is being built nearby, so all the sounds starting at 7.30 will not let you sleep. But this phenomenon is temporary.

    A wonderful hotel right on the beach, so you can eat breakfast and dinner almost in the ocean. Family atmosphere, cozy, very good cuisine (especially tuna curry and brownies!). For animal lovers there is a bonus in the form of cats, of which more than a dozen live here. Very nice staff and huge beds for couples.

    If you’re looking for a simple place by the sea, without too much luxury, I think Canopus perfectly meets your expectations. It’s a simple place, not overly fancy, but it delivers on what it promises. I also wanted to mention Giovanni, the manager of Canopus. He’s a gentleman, a very kind and helpful person, and we had some truly pleasant and fun conversations with him.

    Everything! The hosts always going that extra mile to provide the best experience to the guests, the friendly and competent staff, the fantastic room with ocean view, the amazing location - right on the beach and very close from Cokes and Chickens, the delicious food - plenty of variety with great quality, the wi-fi… everything was to the highest standard. On a personal note, I do not mind the cats at all but it is something to consider when booking with this fantastic Retreat. They are just impossible to avoid. Anyway, I highly recommend this place. 🙂

    -there was a construction site next to the hotel so it was quite noisy all day and late evening - no hairdryer in our room was a cone - we had 4 nights stay and the hotel had 3 days policy for changing the towels so we could only change them on our last day so it was a bit inconvenient - there were cats running on the roof during the night and it was waking us up during the night sometimes

    -The localisation on the beach was perfect, it was very cosy outside with all the lights especially in the evening, there was a hammock which was great for relaxing. - the staff was so welcoming and helpful, they were really kind and cared for all guests - we had a transfer to the hotel from the speedboat and on the way back which was really nice - the food was really good
