I had a lovely time at the hotel, enjoying the fantastic location just a short walk from the beach and restaurants. The breakfast service was attentive, offering a variety of delicious options each morning. The heated pool was a great feature, although it could have been maintained a bit better on some days. Overall, the staff was friendly and accommodating, which added to the pleasant experience, but a few details could have been improved to truly meet the 5-star expectations.

I had a lovely stay at the hotel, really enjoying the attentive service during breakfast and the variety of options available. The location, right by the beach, made sunbathing and swimming a breeze. I was especially impressed with the well-maintained grounds and the spacious, comfortable rooms provided. However, I thought the dining options could use a bit more variety, and the pool area, while enjoyable, had some maintenance issues. Overall, it offered good value for money.

I loved the proximity to the beach, making it easy to soak up the sun. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, though some areas could benefit from modernization. While the dining experiences had their moments of brilliance, I feel they could expand their offerings, especially at breakfast.
