Nice vacation

Great location on the beach front. Lots of choices of cafe, bars, restaurants. Safe area. Not crowded. Service was great. Nice people at the reception. But, the the resort is relatively outdated. Room was clean but the furniture was little old. In summary, we had great time.

The reception staff were friendly and accommodating as always. Staff across the resort are very friendly. Spotlessly clean and well equipped apartment. Lovely heated pool with plenty of sun beds. Have been coming to this resort for 37 years and it never disappoints. Will definitely return. Thanks to all the staff.

Cleanest Hotel I’ve Stayed In

The property was exceptionally clean. A little dated but clearly high end furnishings. Large and comfortable. The air con worked well. The balcony was huge. Friendly service apart from the bar/restaurant but this is run by a third party. Shame because the rest of the hotel was excellent.

Family Time

8 nights stay. Stayed in a 1 bed apartment (B3). View was ok but definitely better views from there apartments. Good size for a 1 bed. Son on double sofa bed in living area. Good sized balcony although outdoor furniture wasn't great as it got extremely hot in the sun, especially the dining table. Not much room around pool area and you have to like the buzz of children in and around the pool. Beautiful garden area and bar area is well maintained. 2 pool tables and mini golf area. Overall a lovely place even if apartment was a little dated.

Perfect location and exceptionally clean and maintained. The only concern I have it the windy steps to the upper level floors with luggage and when wet. Kitchen equipment looked brand new.
