Overall a great experience. The grounds of the hotel are amazing, including the garden, the pools and the spa. The beach is ok and the rooms are a bit outdated. The food is amazing and the service fantastic. Great place for families, they even have a "mini Waterpark" for the little ones.

Mohammed, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel itself is incredible, the lobby is amazing and the amenities are brilliant. We were lucky enough to get upgraded at check in so our room was perfect as we had instant access to the pool. The staff was brilliant as well and it’s a brilliant place to stay if you plan on relaxing at the beach and just swimming. However, there’s nothing around the area in the hotel. You can’t walk anywhere as the hotel is in a secluded place and trying to get a taxi is difficult especially during the evening. If you’re not a fan of the food in the restaurants at the hotel, you’re only option is to order food in.
