More than anything else, the Retreat offers comfort and quiet for the money. There are both long-term apartments and daily rooms. Especially if you're British, you'll feel at home. My room was nice and a decent size: a comfortable, large bed; good A/C; a fan too; very quiet; great Internet. And the staff - all of whom were very pleasant... More

Really enjoyed the retreat. Picked up and dropped off at the airport. Location is in a quiet area with one long straight road into the city centre, with cheap moped rental from the resort, all of which made my stay a very pleasant one. Staff were excellent and room was absolutely great value. Glad i choose this place and would... More

The Englishman's Retreat is a cold, stark establishment which lacks character. Although It has a pool and gym, the manager sees fit to ban their use should anyone violating even the simplist of his rules. The common area has little to offer in comfort...a few cheap folding chairs near the pool and hardly a place to walk around, Private parties... More
