We were able to cook everything we needed to; noticed a shortage of utensils, but we just washed them more often. Also, no wine opener. Again, just went and bought one.

Bactos resort

Our stay at Bactos resort was absolutely amazing! The property looks just like the pictures—spacious, well-decorated, and fully equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay.The location was perfect—close to all the local attractions but still offering a peaceful retreat. We loved being able to relax on the private patio and enjoy the pool and many outdoor games. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and responsive, providing clear instructions and even some great local recommendations that made our trip even better.We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience for our families and would absolutely return. Highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a fantastic getaway.

We enjoyed our stay very much! The kitchen space was large enough for all 6 of us to gather around the island to eat or play games, and the decor was inviting and modern. We enjoyed the livingroom area for movies, and the bedrooms and bathrooms we large enough for all six of us. The outdoor area was amazing, from the pool, hot tub, pergola with plenty of seating to the array of backyard games, this was the perfect mix for our family! No one was bored or looking for things to do! It was easy to get to and everything we wanted to do was within a 15-30 minute drive! Definitely would recommend this to any family looking for a fun and relaxing time!
