"My wife and I had a wonderful stay at Dar and Douce for our honeymoon. It’s a well-kept, self-serviced property that offers excellent value for money with a very personal touch.
The owner was extremely helpful, sharing local tips and a referral to a personalized tour guide that surprised us at a unique location—an unexpected highlight of our trip.
The location is excellent and exactly as described: close to the beach, two restaurants, a fast-food option, and nearby tourist attractions. Everything matched the listing perfectly, with no surprises for a private stay.
Comfortable, well-located with genuine hospitality at a great price. We would gladly return and highly recommend it."
"Amazing breakfast selection! And the view from my room of the pool and marina was incredible. Gorgeous hotel and friendly staff, would highly recommend! "
"Total perfection from the first minute until the last. What elevated the experience beyond expectation was our villa host (Ari). He was exceptional: he not only looked after every detail of our stay but constantly surprised us with special touches. He genuinely made the trip unforgettable."
"I want to start by saying that the hotel itself is absolutely beautiful — the property, the location, and especially the housekeeping staff, maintenance team, and waiters were truly wonderful. They were kind, attentive, and made many parts of our stay enjoyable. My feedback is meant to highlight areas for improvement, not to discourage anyone from choosing this hotel.However, there were several experiences that left me feeling frustrated, particularly because I was traveling with kids after a 36-hour trip and really hoped for a smoother arrival. Almost every hotel has a check-in time of 2–3 PM, and I completely understand that. I arrived around noon, and after answering several questions during the check-in process, it was already past 1 PM. I was told the room would be ready “shortly,” but we ended up having to wait until after 2 PM. What made it frustrating is that many hotels allow guests to enter the room a few minutes early if it’s already available — especially when they can clearly see the family is exhausted after long travel. Even a small gesture like that would have made a big difference.Throughout the stay, I felt like certain front-desk or bar staff were looking for a reaction instead of trying to be helpful. For example, I was at the pool enjoying a peaceful moment with my kids, but when the sun became too strong, I tried to move them to the shade quickly. Instead of allowing me to get them settle, the bar staff member sprinted over to stop me from leaving before"
"Resort was exactly as described and we were pleased with our choice. The staff with very helpful and friendly and it was a great exoperience. Unfortunately on the down side there was building work next to the resort, so sitting in our villa or on the Beach was quite noisy. Also on the main Island there was a facility that produced a lot of smoke 24/7 and on some occasions the wind blew it onto the island and resort."
