Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers great rooms and delicious food with a variety that changes daily, perfect for half board guests like us. The pool area, although small, is comfortable, and the beach is lovely despite some beach boys around. Mr Simon from Happy Tours provided excellent excursions at half the resort's price. Free Wi-Fi is available in limited areas, with the option to pay for room access. The coffee temperature at breakfast can be hit or miss, but the a la carte lunch menu is excellent.
