The hotel is stunning, with beautiful photo backgrounds at every corner. The pool is a great feature, and the food is absolutely delicious, especially the diverse and amazing breakfast. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, and the staff is friendly and helpful. Its location by the sea is a major plus.

Felt warm, no complaints whatsoever.
