Hotel is absolutely fantastic. We originally booked 4 nights but extended for an additional 3. The sea view rooms are incredible. Special thanks to Roberto on reception for helping us extend our stay. Food and cocktails are great. The Select lounge has a very good choice of complimentary snacks and alcoholic beverages. We will definitely be coming back. The only thing to note was some of the tiles around the pool were extremely slippery I know they were changing these one during our stay. But the steps leading down to the toilets by the pool when wet these are very slippy and a family member fell down these. From conversations this happened to others also, so that possibly needs to be looked at.
