An amazing experience to wrap up our 7-day trip — truly the perfect ending to our vacation and a wonderful staycation! The food was a highlight, especially the buffet spread. Both the dinner and breakfast buffets were fantastic, with a wide variety of options to enjoy. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. The room offered a calming sea view that made the stay even more relaxing. The property has two pools — one is a large main pool that includes a spacious 2ft baby pool, which seamlessly continues into a 5ft section. The second is a jacuzzi-style pool, which was decent — not extraordinary, but a big plus was that it’s located near the bar and tends to be less crowded. Overall, a great stay. Highly recommended, especially if you're getting the breakfast with dinner-inclusive package — totally worth it!
I had a pleasant stay overall. The food was remarkably delicious, with a wide variety of options that catered to different tastes—definitely one of the highlights of the experience. The room was spacious and comfortable, especially the deluxe category which offered plenty of space to relax. However, I did notice that the shower opener was broken, which was a minor inconvenience during the stay. With a bit more attention to maintenance, this hotel could easily offer a flawless experience. Still, the hospitality and food make it worth considering for future visits.
I recently stayed at this hotel and, unfortunately, it was a very disappointing experience. To start with the positives — the location is convenient and scenic, and the staff were genuinely friendly and tried their best to be helpful. That said, the overall experience was overshadowed by poor room maintenance and hygiene issues. The room was dusty, and to my shock, there were bedbugs. This led to skin irritation and I had to seek medical treatment, which completely ruined the stay. The air conditioning barely worked, and the room was uncomfortably warm most of the time. There was also continuous noise throughout the night, making it hard to get proper rest. Despite complaining multiple times, very little was done to resolve the issues. We booked a deluxe room assuming it would be a better experience, but that was another letdown. The bathtub was the main feature promoted, but it lacked a proper pressure system and took over 5 hours to fill — practically unusable. Overall, I do not recommend this hotel unless significant improvements are made in cleanliness, maintenance, and basic facilities. Not worth the money or the stress.
