Friendly staff, flexibility, cleanliness, panoramic view on the terrace and it's very close to the beach (less than a minute walk). Sabrina's café and restaurant is no longer there, but guests can order food from the house and the chef will prepare at any time the guests wish. Those who chose self catering they can also do so. Alternatively guests can be taken to a nearby sister hotel called Jannatan where they can order food, and it is where the swimming is (less than 2 minutes walk)
The beach is just a stone throw fro the house. Boutique shops, food stores and massage place are just outside the house. The famous Peponi Hotel is about 50 meters from Shella White House.
