Thistle inn was a comfortable and intimate vibe. Me and my group really enjoyed the atmosphere. The hosts were super attentive, organizing rides for us wherever we needed and constantly changing out waters and beach towels. They always took care of us and I’d definitely recommend this resort for travelers.

If you ask me will I stay again at Thistle Inn, I'd say absolutely! Not only are the rooms spacious, clean and spotless, the staff are all very friendly, very accommodating and always ready to assist. There's also a pool if you feel like going for a quick dip. The location is great if you want some peace and quiet.

Excellent personalised service. Run by the owner’s family, the stay feels like being at home away from home. Somebody always available to meet your needs. Thistle Inn can be classed as a small boutique accommodation away from but accessible to the busy tourist areas. Highly recommended to everyone including couples and families looking for a quiet place to retreat and rest after a busy day seeing the sights.

We really enjoyed staying here. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, the shower was hot, and everything you need is there. They had slippers & bathrobes, shower & swimming towels, a refrigerator and safe. You can rent a scooter if you like as well. It's only a 5 minute drive to the beach & the area is quiet. We will be back for sure. And a shout out to Frank, thank you for your help & hospitality.

The Thistle Inn is a lovely, nice oasis. The room was very clean and the service was outstanding. It is a well-run family-owned business. The owners organized airport pick up, our motorbike and car rental, and quickly addressed any questions we had during our stay. Would highly recommend it!
