Fun for Families

“During our stay, we enjoyed the children's club where my kids made some new friends and participated in daily activities. Although it wasn't a fully supervised space, the staff were very lovely and accommodating to young children, making it a fun experience overall.” view full review

Relaxing Spa Experience

“I took advantage of the spa services on a rainy day, and the massages were simply excellent. The indoor pool and sauna were a great retreat, making for a relaxing day even when the weather didn't cooperate. However, I did notice that there were multiple guests in the pool area, which at times felt overcrowded.” view full review

Delicious Food Choices

“I was pleasantly surprised by the dining options offered. The breakfast and lunch spread was especially excellent, featuring fresh fruits, various breakfast meats, and daily BBQ specials for lunch. While some dinners lacked variety, I always found something to satisfy my palate.” view full review

Spacious Suite Comfort

“We stayed in a spacious two-bedroom suite with a beautiful sea view. It was incredibly clean, with two bathrooms, making it ideal for our family. The layout allowed us to comfortably relax after a day of exploring while enjoying the fine view from our balcony.” view full review
