I had a good experience at the resort overall, with exceptional cleanliness and friendly staff being highlights. However, the dining options were inconsistent, with many dishes lacking warmth and flavor. The location was convenient, being relatively close to attractions but still quiet enough to enjoy a relaxing stay. The amenities were okay, but there’s room for improvement in service consistency and food quality.

Dining was one of the weaker points, with the buffet food often lukewarm and lacking flavor. I did enjoy one of the specialty restaurants, but overall, the food needs better variety and quality.

Facilities were adequate, but the pool area felt a bit tired and could use some renovations. The spa's closure was also a letdown.

I just got back from a lovely two-week stay at this hotel. It's a classic place with a clean atmosphere and exceptional service from the staff, especially Luigi at the Sports bar. The dining options were varied and delightful, with Krystal being our favorite. While the location on the beach is fantastic for long walks, there isn’t much around the immediate area. Overall, it offered great value for the money, though the room electrics could use some updating.

8.4/10

The hotel offers a great overall experience with clean, spacious rooms and a stunning beach right outside. The service was exceptional, especially from the dinner team who had a wonderful sense of humor. However, the pool can get quite crowded and noisy at times, which detracts from the experience. Additionally, we encountered a significant stomach bug during our stay, which was disappointing.

I had a lovely holiday at the hotel, with clean and comfortable rooms and a great staff that really made the effort. The dining experience was excellent with quality food, although the wine selection could be better. However, the location felt a bit remote and the noise from the corridors can be intrusive at times. Overall, it's a solid choice for a relaxing getaway, especially if you're okay with a taxi ride to town for more dining options.

We had another fabulous vacation here! The hotel's charm is undeniable, and while it's showing some signs of age, the atmosphere and exceptional staff made our stay wonderful. We loved the diverse food options, warm weather, and the chance to reconnect with friends. However, some issues with bathroom access and restaurant reservations dampened the experience a bit.
