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.
