The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms with a nice sea view, but the rooms are small. The service is friendly and welcoming, with nice complimentary touches. The location is convenient but has some issues with smoking and cats. The dining experience provides sufficient choices. The facilities are satisfactory.

I was thrilled with the fabulous sea view from my one-bedroom executive suite, but the location next to the children's pool was a bit distracting as people were sunbathing right outside my window. The private terrace was a great feature, although the lack of a sofa and discrepancy from promotional pictures were a letdown.

The staff, especially Evie, Alex, and Nicolas, were incredibly polite and friendly, making our stay a happy and memorable one. However, the additional charge of 20 euros per night for an upgrade seemed excessive given the already high price we paid.
Location

The hotel is set in a smaller, quieter town with two wonderful pools and a shallow kids pool, making it a nice spot for a relaxing holiday. However, being on a timetable dictated by others could be inconvenient at times.

The dining experience was great with fresh and tasty food in a small restaurant, but it tended to get overcrowded in the morning. The reasonable food prices made it a solid choice for a meal.
