My stay at the resort was a mixed bag. The location was simply beautiful and very central, making it easy to access shops and bars. However, the room I got could definitely use some improvements, as it felt damp and the quality was low. While the staff typically served with smiles, the treatment of some guests raised concerns. Overall, it was decent value for money, but not without its setbacks.

I had a wonderful time at this resort spa where the atmosphere is truly relaxing. The rooms were spacious and clean, which made my stay comfortable. The staff was incredibly helpful and quick to respond to any needs I had. One downside was the dining-the dinner options were a bit repetitive with only one type of meat each night. Overall, it was a great experience, but a little more variety in the dining would have been appreciated.

My stay at the resort was a mixed bag. On one hand, I enjoyed the massive king-size bed in my room, which was very clean. However, I faced issues as my room wasn't ready at check-in and there were dampness problems. The staff was incredibly accommodating and made my dinner experience lovely, but I did find the entertainment area impacted by nearby smoke. Despite these hiccups, I found the meals varied and delightful, but there were some issues with wasps. All in all, great service but some room for improvement.

I had to swap to a first-floor room, which had a massive king-size bed and a spotless bathroom. Unfortunately, the dampness was a significant downside.

I had a decent stay at the hotel, enjoying some aspects like the clean and comfortable rooms with a lovely view down towards the sea. The location is beautiful, right on the beach, but breakfast can be a bit of a challenge due to the slope. While the staff tried their best to help, the dining options were limited and could greatly improve. Overall, it was a nice stay but not without its flaws.

I had a really enjoyable stay at the resort. The rooms were spacious with a beautiful sea view, which was a major highlight for me. The location is ideal, just a short walk from the beach and around plenty of shops. The staff provided attentive service, which made me feel well taken care of. However, I did find the toilet seats a bit too high for comfort. Overall, it's a good value for a lovely getaway.
