Rooms were clean but small and seemed a bit rundown. Bed seem a bit worn. Breakfast was okay not the best I’ve had, staff were nice enough. Definitely family friendly great for children it’s quite isolated so it’s a lot quieter and harder to get places. Resort was beautiful but rooms definitely were rundown.
