9/10 Wonderful! (9 reviews)

Fantastic location by the beach . Lovely spot for a relaxing holiday . We were the only English In the hotel but had a wonderful time chatting to folk from all around Europe . We accessed many trips such as snorkelling, scuba diving and sailing . The staff were very friendly and the food was excellent . The bar was open till midnight with a great range of drinks on the all inc package . The pool areas were super with very comfortable sun beds but we preferred the beach which also had these . We will be back .

We were among the first guests to stay at this hotel and can already see its potential to be amazing once it's fully operational next month. The hotel is very clean and modern, with a pleasant, fresh scent throughout. The grounds are beautiful, featuring modern pools that enhance the overall ambiance. During our stay, the gym and spa facilities were not yet available, but we were informed that they would be ready by July. The hotel staff were adequate. While the food was nice, the selection was limited to 3-5 main options, salads, and desserts. Breakfast was average and had a limited selection. The bar was impressive with an extensive cocktail list, and the bar staff were friendly and genuine. Areas for improvement: - The food in the restaurant should be labeled.
