I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the spacious rooms had great potential, they unfortunately felt run down with some maintenance issues. The service was attentive and accommodating, which made my stay a bit more pleasant. However, the dining experience was a letdown due to overcrowding. The location right by the beach was a plus, but the noise from the nearby areas was distracting.

I found the dining options to be rather crowded and didn't return for the second and third days due to this. While the steak was juicy and good, the experience was not what I expected due to the crowd.

The hotel offered a nice pool area, though I didn't get to enjoy it much with the crowd around. Overall, the amenities felt underwhelming given the size of the resort.

I recently stayed at this resort spa, and while overall it was a really nice experience, there were some ups and downs worth mentioning. The rooms were especially spacious, which I loved, but they could have used a bit more attention to detail in terms of cleanliness. The amenities offered felt luxurious, and the staff really knew their job well, but the dining options left me wanting a bit more variety. Overall, it's a good spot, especially if you're looking for comfort and relaxation.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and offered a lovely sea view, but they definitely showed some signs of age. Service was hit or miss; while some team members were helpful, others seemed poorly trained. The location was quite good for accessing the airport and nearby attractions, but it felt a bit far from the city center. Dining options were extensive but could get crowded during busy times, which impacted my overall enjoyment.
