    we recently had the pleasure of staying at this stunning hotel, and it truly exceeded our expectations. the swimming pools, particularly the 50m pool, were fantastic, and the beach offered perfect spots for snorkeling. we enjoyed our meals in the restaurant while being entertained by live music, which added a lovely touch to our evenings. our room was comfortable and featured a spectacular front sea view, making sunset watching from our balcony a delightful experience. the staff was friendly and the breakfast spread was, without a doubt, the best we've ever encountered.

    Could not be improved in any way. 🌟.

    Room, cleanliness, beautiful view for sunsets.

    For the size of the hotel, there are far too few sun beds at the pools. The breakfast buffet was chaos. The coveted dishes were mostly empty. With the coffee machines (self-service) some guests did not get along, so that long queues formed. There was a tiny access to the sea, swimming was not possible, probably due to the situation at the harbour.

    The service was first class and the food quality was excellent,we didn't have a bad dish during the 8 days we were there.Also the pool was very refreshing - the sea was luke warm and had jelly fish in,allegedly.

    Maybe the bedroom furntiture and decor could have been better,especially the bathroom.Very dated.

    Deluxe king room with balcony, a great view plus nice seaview was ready when we checked, in. the location was amazing and perfect , a few steps away from everywhere we wanted to go. Moreover, the area was beach. Rewritten review: Our deluxe king room with a balcony offered a fantastic view and lovely seaview upon check, in. the location was absolutely perfect , just steps away from everywhere we wanted to go. Additionally, being by the beach made the area even more appealing.
