Lovely clean and comfortable room, could have done with a few more supplies for refreshments (tea bags/ coffee) however you are given a cup to take away your hot drink in the restaurant, if you wish at breakfast so no big issue for me. beautiful sea views. Loved the roof terrace and hot tubs, shame the bar was closed although we stayed at the end of April so maybe it opens in summer. Fabulous choice of breakfast lots of hot and cold food and eggs cooked to order. Staff were very friendly and helpful, I only stayed for 2 nights, I will definitely come back for another visit and stay for for longer it was worth every penny.

LOVELY PLACE TO STAY! We stayed here for the first time and it was excellent! We enjoyed our visit so much that we even extended our stay. The only downside was that the family pool was closed. We would love to come back on another occasion. A special thank you to the reception staff for their very kind and pleasant approach. The breakfast with the sea view was fantastic as well - so many fresh choices, absolutely brilliant!

I can’t recommend this hotel enough. Its decor is beautiful, it’s clean and fresh. The layout is wonderful because there are several places to sit, drink and enjoy the stunning views. The servers are friendly and helpful- Patricia at the lobby bar was especially great. The all-inclusive is incredible value for money- the food is overall really good (a few dishes are too salty, but other than that there’s so much choice and tasty options). I would definitely stay here again.
