mixed feelings about this stay
limited optionsunhelpful staff
The breakfast buffet lacked variety. It was the same options every day. i also had to request room cleaning multiple times before it was actually done. reception staff seemed unhelpful (it was like they were not really listening) and not accommodating. i waited for what was like forever for check in.

Really good stay with excellent staff
modern decorcomfortable bedamazing viewdirty chair
The room was spacious, offering a modern decor alongside a comfortable bed. i particularly enjoyed the amazing view from my room. the staff were genuinely lovely. They did everything possible to ensure my stay was nice. during my stay, the hotel gifted me a delicious cake, a thoughtful gesture.
the beach had numerous boats and jet skis operating dangerously close to swimmers. refueling also occurred directly on the beach, possibly causing spills. the chair cushions in the restaurant looked dirty and the beach towels seemed old.
Location

the hotel's location is near many restaurants and bars, providing convenient access to local dining and entertainment options. the hotel features direct access to the beach, a great amenity for beach lovers.. the swimming pools are another highlight.

the buggy service from the car park to reception was convenient and quick. i enjoyed the cool drink and cloth on arrival. the beach has nearby restaurants and cafes. i found them accessible without needing transport. staff from the beach bar and fruit bar were helpful.
