Really good Hotel Stay

ample spacesea viewprivate beachsmall gym
The room offered ample space exceeding expectations from online pictures. I booked the Double or Twin Room Sea View. The scene from the balcony was beautiful (a amazing view!). The room was clean, and the private beach in front was accessible and well maintained.
The gym was quite small and lacked modern equipment. It would have been great with newer machines.

The hotel has three distinct restaurants and a bar. I found the variety of options excellent. There were multiple seating areas both indoors and outdoors to accommodate many guests and ensure a relaxed dining atmosphere. The bar area had lovely food.

The hotel enjoys a prime location, granting direct access to the beach. I enjoyed the convenience this afforded. Though the hotel is somewhat removed from the city center, I appreciated this serene environment for my family.

amazing staffocean viewbroken dryer
The surprise birthday decoration i arranged for my husband went perfectly with the help of the amazing staff. our room had the best ocean view. The location being right beside the sea made beach walks easily accessible.. i loved the sound of the waves.
I stayed in a self catering apartment, and i discovered the clothes dryer outside was broken. also, both sides of the sliding doors unlock, so be wary of that feature. One side had been open the whole time.

The breakfast was generous and varied, a fabulous start to each day. i found the food in the restaurants perfect, especially the breakfast options. Everything tasted good and fresh. the tablet gave instructions for a free bottle of wine if booked via that.

The staff was super friendly and helpful! the breakfast buffet had tons of choices. i found the accessible beach just lovely. I enjoyed having easy access. the room was clean and spacious too!
I did have to pay extra to use the sauna, and the lower pool area was only open in the morning, inconvenient. I couldn't use it in the afternoon without paying extra.
