Excellent hotel near the airport and short drive to the city. Clean large pool and beach for swimming. Plenty of shaded sitting areas. Restaurant food is good. Staff very friendly and accommodating.

1-night trip

8/10

Overall, we had a great stay. The rooms were comfortable and the shower was amazing. When we had any issues they were dealt with very promptly and without any fuss. Pity that the half board rate only related to their main dining room and not to other restaurants on the site. Great swimming pool although hard to get out of if you are a little weak. Breakfast was generous and had different offerings each morning which made for a nice variety. Not really a resort but a nice, relaxing place to be for a few days.
3-night trip

10/10

This property was amazing. Stunningly beautiful and everything was thought of. Customer service was top notch. The only areas of improvement for me was that wifi was very slow in some rooms and spaces and the long nails of the spa ladies did not provide for an optimal experience. Other than that - 10/10.

Hotel looks very nice. Its just like the pictures. But the rooms are very humid and smells a little like mold. When we checked out they added costs for over 100$ to the bill that we did not use. Even when we told them it was wrong, they still tried to make us pay for several thing.
