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.

Also, while the spa and outdoor spaces were lovely, the lack of livelier activities left something to be desired for nighttime entertainment.

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.
