Great pool and beach average room
Great pool and on a nice beach. Hotel lobby great Rooms average. Patio for room had gaps which let people smoke drift in while you were sunbathing which really spoilt relaxing by the pool. Rooms are now well sound proofed either

Very peaceful.
Hotel was secluded away centers of activity, restaurants, shops etc. That suited us. Booked private pool area which was great. Some entertainment at night - good. Staff provided some classes during the day such as Olive tasting, really good. Some light exercise classes during the day. Variety of food - excellent. All staff very helpful and friendly. Used hotel taxi a few times. Same man very helpful & loads of local information.

Hotellet var gammeldags! Sto ikke til forventningene. Det var mer et 3 stjernes hotell og ikke et 5 stjerners hotell. Vi kommer ikke tilbake.

Receptionisten ville alting til vores allerbedste, men det blev rodet og ustruktureret - det skal de vist øve lidt mere på. Herefter fungerede alting perfekt.

Great service—the staff is super nice, good facilities and very good location. Lots of local restaurants within 10-15 minute walk as well so you can eat off the resort if you wish.

The fitness facilities are good. Staff at the reception is helpful and knowledgeable. Service at the restaurant is ok on average: not 5 star service, but would be decent for a 3 star hotel (so not bad either). All rooms seem to have a decent view, so there’s no risk in booking any type of a room.
