Boasting room service, this property also provides guests with a terrace. The accommodation features a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared lounge and free WiFi throughout the property. we had breakfast and diner during our 5 day stay there. All of them were amazingly varied, tasty and of the highest quality. Unfortunately, it was too cold to use the pool, pool bar and pool beds, but they looked as if they were brochure photos. The beach setup was also excellent, all new furniture, walkways and a small beach cafe. You could not ask for more helpful, friendly and well-organised staff. The room wasn't very big, but was well equipped and was compensated by a good size terrace with two sun beds. This was a very memorable stay, in the good sense.👍
