I recently enjoyed a week at this hotel, and the location is truly exceptional, just a stone's throw from the beach! The staff's attentiveness made my stay much more pleasant, and I appreciated the wide variety of facilities available, including the lovely pool area. However, I did experience some disappointments with the dining options, as the quality of the meals did not live up to my expectations. Overall, a solid stay with wonderful views but room for improvement in the kitchen.

I had a delightful week-long stay at this hotel, thanks to its fantastic location just steps from the beach and well-maintained facilities. The superior room offered stunning sea views, and the spacious pool area was a highlight. However, the dining experience was a mixed bag, with some challenges regarding gluten-free options and noise from the bar. Overall, it was a pleasurable getaway with some areas needing improvement.

We had a lovely stay at this hotel, enjoying its proximity to the stunning beach and a pleasant atmosphere. The rooms were comfortable and clean, which added to our overall enjoyment. While the breakfast buffet was diverse, we felt some of the hot options could be warmer. The staff's attentiveness made for a wonderful experience, although the Wi-Fi should have been included without extra charges.

This hotel is a real gem with stunning views and fantastic facilities. The staff was exceptionally attentive, making our stay very special. The only downside was the evening buffet, which didn't quite match our expectations for the price. Overall, it's a wonderful place to unwind, especially with the beautiful garden and pools at your disposal.
