    We loved being right on the beach, with easy access to shops and restaurants in the area. the rooms were clean and comfortable, with great views of the ocean from our balcony. the breakfast buffet offered a variety of tasty choices, and the staff was friendly and accommodating.

    The noise from nearby clubs made it difficult to sleep at night.

    During my Easter vacation, I experienced some nice things at this hotel location. I enjoyed the breathtaking scenery and atmosphere of the beach. the hotel offers a variety of activities, such as water sports, which made my stay more fun and engaging. the hotel is strategically situated near several access points, making it convenient and accessible for exploring the surrounding areas.

    There were also some negative aspects of my stay. the food quality was not up to my expectations, and the variety of options was limited.

    The breakfast buffet at this resort was absolutely mind-blowing! They had a delicious continental spread with eggs, fruit, sausages, and more. The staff, especially Chef Mark, went above and beyond to accommodate the children's menu with better alternatives. The quality of the bath and swimming towels was top-notch. The beachside location provided a very relaxing environment with a cool ocean breeze. The outdoor sitting area was super cozy and perfect for hanging out. The staff's exceptional service made the whole experience even better. We were even allowed to play loud music and have a poolside party all night, and everyone got along. The hotel also organized a fantastic dolphins excursion at a fair price. I will definitely be coming back for a second visit!

The leisure facilities, including the swimming pool, were well-maintained and offered a great way to relax and unwind.

    The beach nearby was beautiful, and the sunsets were stunning. the room was spacious enough for two people and the air conditioning was working well. Plus, the breakfast was delicious and there were many choices available.

    The services were very poor. We had to wait a long time to be attended to and the staff was not helpful at all.
