Great Stay with Minor Hiccups

private poolfine viewfood varietystrange noise
I really enjoyed the private pool. it was amazing! The location offered fine views. The food variety was huge, I found it particularly great on seafood night. We felt supported by the hotel staff when facing minor health issues.
I didn't like the beverages. They tasted strange. The restroom in my room had a strange noise. The air conditioner smelled bad too. I think that issue was likely isolated to my room.

The hotel is perched on a peninsula. It gives panoramic views of the sea. A rental car place is within walking distance. I liked the seaside village not far from the resort. Taxis back are only 10 Euros.

Every meal offered an very nice variety of dishes. From breakfast buffets to à la carte dinners, everything was delicious. The buffet always offers something different cooked on the grill outside. I liked that feature.

Wonderful Stay

concrete beachexcellent cocktailswalking distancemultiple pools
I found multiple pools and an awesome concrete beach. I enjoyed excellent cocktails. This resort has all you expect from an all inclusive resort. Two beaches are at easy walking distance. The location was near the airport and asking distance to the beach.
The all inclusive is weak. There is one buffet restaurant, it is overcrowded. It is understaffed too. The place reminded me of it needed several cleaners in the pool area, restaurant, and bars.
