    Great Easter package deals offered with attractive discounts for our family of four. Convenient location to reach the beach and local market. Loved the infinity pool, and the variety of drinks offered at the pool bar was fantastic.

    Rooms were not clean as expected, and basic amenities like towels and toiletries were not replaced. Limited options in the buffet, and the food quality was average.

    the service was impeccable, with attentive staff bringing drinks to our sun lounger by the outdoor swimming pool and even creating cute towel animals on our bed. the Spa & wellness centre was a highlight, offering exclusive treatments in a serene environment.

    The only minor issue was the night club, which could be heard faintly from our room. this was easily solved by closing the balcony doors.

    I recently had an amazing vacation at a budget-friendly hotel in a fantastic location. Everything went 100% smoothly, from the transport from the airport to being close to all the bars within 5 minutes. the hotel was right on the beach, offering breathtaking views and a relaxing atmosphere. the room was spacious and clean, with a comfortable bed and a well-maintained bathroom. the service provided by the staff was friendly and efficient. the breakfast buffet was delicious, offering a variety of tasty options. the facilities, especially the massive pool and beach bars, were a great advantage.

    That the specialty restaurants had a lengthy wait.
