I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location is absolutely wonderful, right by the beach and close to attractions. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making our stay much more enjoyable. However, the rooms felt dated and we were disappointed with the dining options, which could use some improvement.

I had a pretty mixed experience at this hotel. The location was fantastic with private beach access and great shuttle service, but the rooms weren’t ideal as they felt dated and had issues with cleanliness. The service was friendly and prompt, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the dining experience left a bit to be desired, especially for a five-star establishment. Overall, it’s a decent spot for the location, but improvements are definitely needed in several areas.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The views from the main pool were stunning, and the beach was just a short five-minute walk away. The staff was incredibly friendly, which made our experience even better. On the downside, we found the price of bottled water a bit excessive at 3 euros, and it was disappointing that our rooms didn’t have a kettle for tea or coffee, especially for a five-star hotel. Overall, it was a great family-friendly escape.

The hotel is in a stunning location right on the beach with beautiful views and a relaxing atmosphere. My rooms were spacious, though a bit dated and the cleanliness could use some improvement. The breakfast was absolutely wonderful, offering a variety of tasty options. However, the service had some hiccups, particularly with the jacuzzi, which affected my swimsuits. Overall, it was a comfortable stay for a reasonable price, but there are areas that could be enhanced.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, primarily due to its nice private beach and great ocean views from the room. The rooms were clean, but I did notice some signs of age and a slight musty smell. Service was friendly but occasionally slow. The dining options seemed a bit overpriced, and while the beach was beautiful, the public area didn't feel quite as luxurious as expected.
