The hotel offers a wonderful SPA experience, where staff members are incredibly friendly and attentive. Dining options are diverse with quality food, but the evening buffet could have longer hours. While the cleanliness and ambiance provide a relaxing experience, some extra activities would improve the overall enjoyment. A downside was having to pay extra for the safe and sunbeds, which felt unnecessary given the price paid for the stay.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, enjoying the cleanliness and the variety of food offered.

The hotel provides a good overall experience, with clean facilities and an attentive staff. The spa services were a highlight, offering fantastic massages and treatments that relieved stress. However, the dining options could be improved since the variety didn't fully reflect local cuisine, and the pools felt a bit overcrowded. It's a comfortable stay, but there's room for enhancement in some areas.
