I had a nice overall experience at this hotel. The facilities were enjoyable, especially the pools, yet there were some minor issues with sun loungers, and the dining experience could use a little improvement. The staff was genuinely helpful, and the location was convenient for getting out and about. The rooms were decent, though I expected a bit more comfort and quality for what I paid.

I had an incredible time at the resort, enjoying the spacious rooms with stunning beach views and access to numerous pools. The dining options were extensive, especially the local desserts, which were a delightful surprise. However, I did find some aspects a bit dated, and I expected a bit more considering the price I paid. Despite this, the massages I received at the spa, particularly from Maria, were fantastic, and Marta Kowalkows really stood out as a member of the team.
