The breakfast was excellent which a great variety and with the option to ask for specific items. It also has a separate omlette station and a kids station. The beach and sea view was exceptional - it takes your breath away. The staff provided a high level of service, they were responsive, accomodating, helpful, welcoming - excellent. A big shout out to Ankit, Front of House Manager, Zeeshan who was very helpful, and Elvie who was excellent and is brilliant at customer services! The room was excellent with great facilities, and maybe it could do with some updating, it was still an excellent stay and throughly enjoyed it. There were 3 great restaurants on site that serve great food! The beach is lovely, clean and the sea is clean. The are are 3 outside pools, an inside pool, a jacuzzi, a sauna and a spa - all great. It is a mini deli shop which stocks food, drink, items etc. which are all very useful. I will definitely be back! It was an outstanding stay.

Overall very good, nice friendly staff. Our premium 2 bed suite was excellent and love the fact that you have the option to cook if you didn't fancy going down to any of the on site restaurants. The facilities on site also very good but expensive. The pricey mini supermarket had all the essentials. Laundry wash or dryer use are 10 euros each.

My husband and I stayed for 4 nights 24/10/25-28/10/25. Definitely not a 5 star hotel. Rooms are large, clean but a bit old. Water pressure in the shower was very low, toilet flush was nonexistent and finally stopped working. Beach is nice but very small for such a large hotel. Getting a lounge chair and an umbrella is practically impossible after 11 o’clock. But if you come early in the morning and get a spot at the beach, then go for breakfast at your allocated time, your towels and your stuff is removed by security, so you need to look for a new spot at the beach. This happened to us and we were told this was the hotel’s policy. Neither security nor hotel manager on duty were willing to do anything to accommodate my husband and I. And yes, your breakfast time is assigned at check in. We were given 2 options 7:30 and 9:30. Every request we had at the front desk was answered with a NO, big smile and very polite but a NO. Breakfast buffet was good but same every day we stayed at the hotel
