My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were in perfect condition, clean, spacious, and had a nice garden view with easy access to the pool. The only downside was the side view from our room and some safety concerns. The service staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, making my stay special. The location was ideal, close to the beach and within walking distance of supermarkets, old town, and restaurants. The dining experience offered a great variety of delicious options. Overall, a great stay with wonderful amenities!
