    This hotel has an excellent location, being so close to the beach that you can walk there in just a few minutes. there is a bus stop outside the hotel, making it easy to get around. the breakfast is good, with plenty of choice. the staff is really friendly and welcoming. You can find sunbeds and a lot of activities for both children and adults.

    The hotel lacks storage space in some of its rooms.

    The food and the beach were the best aspects of my stay. The food was delicious and there was a wide variety available. The beach was in a great location, close to shops and easy to access. The hotel also provided free towels which was a plus.

    The worst aspects were the outdated rooms and the rude staff. The rooms were old and not well maintained.

    We enjoyed two things in particular about our recent hotel stay. Firstly, the rooms were very clean and the hotel complex was pleasant to walk around. Additionally, the hotel was situated in a key location, making it easy to access nearby restaurants, cafes and supermarkets. Finally, we appreciated the fact that all facilities were included in the price of our stay.

    We did have a few concerns about our experience at the hotel. The food provided was quite basic and did not have much variety. Additionally, the quality of the alcohol served was not great. Finally, there was a noticeable smell in the area, which detracted from our enjoyment of the nearby beach.

    We had an amazing stay at this luxurious 4-star hotel. The location right on the beach was perfect for us, and we enjoyed spending our days lounging on the sunbeds and swimming in the clear waters. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome throughout our stay. The hotel amenities were top-notch, including the spa and wellness center where we treated ourselves to rejuvenating massages.

    We highly recommend this place to everyone.

    I had a great stay at this hotel with clean rooms and amazing hotel facilities. The hotel staff were friendly and provided a wonderful breakfast with a variety of options. The location was perfect with easy transportation and on the beachfront with parking available.

    Could not be improved in any way.
