I had a wonderful stay at this hotel with many highlights. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making our experience special. The selection of food was extensive and delicious, particularly the themed dinners. The pools and spa facilities were excellent, providing a relaxing escape. However, I felt that the evening buffet could stay open longer, and it was disappointing to find that sunbed rentals at the beach weren't included in our package.

I had a fantastic two-week holiday at this hotel. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making me feel welcomed throughout my stay. The food was exceptional with a great variety of options, especially during themed dinners. The only downsides were the limitations on dining hours in the evening and paying for sunbed services at the beach, which felt a bit unreasonable given the price of the stay.
