My stay at the hotel was wonderful, with a beautiful view of the sea from my room and access to great facilities including diverse pools and a lovely spa. The staff was truly amazing, always going the extra mile to make my experience memorable. However, the dining options could use some improvement in variety, and the location was a bit far from local attractions which required taxis to explore the area.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel with spacious rooms that made me feel right at home. The staff went above and beyond to arrange special surprises for my partner's birthday, which was a nice touch. The breakfast buffet was large and diverse, setting the tone for the day. However, the evening dining was a bit overpriced considering the offerings, and the gym facilities, while good, could use a few more machines to accommodate everyone during peak hours.
