missingWrote a review on Aug 29outdoor poolspacious balconymini-bar confusion
I had a fantastic time soaking up the sun by the outdoor pool and chilling on the spacious balcony of my room. The relaxation opportunities were amazing, and I loved the comfortable setup for lounging after a long day. Just a heads up, make sure to double-check any mini-bar prices, as I was surprised at check-out! ☀️

Breakfast included and the pool was nice. The staff was good, attentive, like they actually cared about your needs.
It wasn’t cheap, but honestly wasn’t too bad for what you get.

I enjoyed the lovely pool and the balcony in my room. The view was fine, and the staff were a delight! So cheerful they almost made up for the rest.
But honestly, I think I saw more action at my grandma's bingo night! The hot water seemed to be on vacation.

Fantastic staff and great location
I had an amazing stay with fantastic beach access and multiple pools that were perfect for relaxation. The breakfast buffet was generous with delicious options, and the staff were genuinely kind and attentive, always eager to help. However, the cleanliness of the common areas could use improvement as they felt a bit neglected at times.

I truly enjoyed the accessibility of the hotel areas, especially the beautifully decorated lobby overlooking the pool. The spacious common areas allowed for easy movement, which I appreciated as a senior traveler seeking comfort and relaxation.
Improved staff response time would enhance the experience.

I stayed here solo and really enjoyed the vibes. The beach access is fantastic and the staff is friendly. The breakfast buffet offers a wide variety of tasty options. Three pools provide plenty of relaxation space. A great place for a peaceful getaway. 🌊

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this modern hotel where our family felt right at home! The tennis court was a hit with the kids, and we all loved swimming in the beautiful pool after a fulfilling day exploring the nearby beaches.
My kids wished there were more family-friendly dining options available. The menu choices felt limited for little ones.

The beachfront location offers decent access to local life, giving you a taste of the area beyond tourist traps. The mini store attached to the hotel provides convenience for snacks and necessities at reasonable prices, far better than the regular mini-bar rates.
The hotel lacks maintenance, with visible signs of wear like peeling paint and water leaks in the rooms. The touted main pool was closed during my stay, leaving only a shallow alternative. I encountered issues with plumbing, including unpleasant odors from the warm water and brown water on one occasion. Breakfast offered limited variety and was understocked at times, while the gym equipment showed age and needed attention. The beach nearby isn’t pristine either, presenting more of a local vibe than an escape into paradise.

I had a wonderful time with two standout experiences, the breakfast buffet was incredibly varied and fresh, and the experience at the pool was so relaxing, especially watching the sunset. Just be aware that the images of the beach were a bit misleading, as the area was not as pristine as hoped. Overall, I would definitely return for the peaceful vibes and excellent dining options.

The direct access to the beach was fantastic for quick swims. The staff at the pools were attentive and created a relaxing atmosphere. The gym, although outdated, had sufficient equipment for a good workout.
