How we score: these are our own editorial ratings, weighted to what we can verify from the ground — location, proximity to the beach, transport and what’s nearby. We don’t publish room-quality, cleanliness or service scores of our own; for current prices and guest reviews, use the booking sites. We only rate a property when we have enough grounded information to justify it.
