I had a very relaxing stay at this hotel with lovely staff who made me feel pampered. The beach was beautiful and just a short walk away. The buffet dinner had a different theme every night and the food was delicious. I had an amazing holiday and would definitely recommend this hotel.

The food at this hotel was excellent, especially the breakfast buffet which had a wide variety of options. The staff were also very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. In terms of location, the hotel was situated in a beautiful area with direct access to stunning coastal scenery and beaches.
There were some issues during our stay. The bathrooms lacked privacy as there were no doors, which made it uncomfortable for families or friends traveling together.

This venue is luxurious and fulfilled all my exclusive amenities needs. The Spa & Wellness centre was exceptional. The indoor heated swimming pool, sauna, Jacuzzi, and Turkish bath were very relaxing. The treatment rooms were beautifully designed, and the massages and body treatments were fantastic. The hotel also had a sun terrace and beach access at the most beautiful beach. The garden area was very well maintained, and the outdoor swimming pool was clean and had plenty of sun loungers. The entertainment was amazing, probably the best I've ever experienced at a hotel.
The breakfast buffet was quite average, but otherwise, everything was fantastic. The service was excellent, and the restaurant and bar/lounge area were great places to have a drink and enjoy some snacks.

The luxurious amenities and service at this hotel were exceptional, making for a truly indulgent experience. The spa and wellness centre, complete with sauna, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, Jacuzzi, health club and treatment rooms, provided the perfect way to unwind and relax. The stunning sun terrace offered sun loungers and beach umbrellas, providing the ideal setting for enjoying the private beach access and scenic garden area.
The only minor issue we encountered during our stay at this venue was a lack of options in terms of vegetarian meals. While the non-seafood options were delicious, it would have been nice to have a greater variety of meal choices available.

Gorgeous hotel with good meals and excellent service. Marvelous territory and beach, with great swimming pools. Modern lobby and outside facilities. Rooftop bar with a great view and live music. Lovely surprise for my partner's birthday with cake and champagne in the bedroom. Comfortable bed and spacious room with a nice balcony. Friendly staff and nice location with a private beach. Access to indoor pool included. Great breakfast with fresh fruit. Plenty of places to lounge and relax. Can't wait to come back.

The location of this hotel is fantastic, with amazing hiking trails nearby and just a short taxi ride to the bustling old town. The outside restaurant provides a lovely dining experience, and the rooms are spacious and clean. The breakfast selection is extensive, with options for vegetarians, and the staff provide excellent service.
The wifi connection was extremely poor during my stay.
