the hotel is a taxi ride away from many attractions. i also experienced intrusive noise at the pool from the dual carriageway. the overwhelming smell of aviation fuel was periodic. this impacted my otherwise amazing experience at the pool.

The hotel offered a premium double room. It included a balcony with sea view. The room was very clean, and it had fine amenities (i loved the bathrobes!). The pool on the cliff was amazing. The staff was kind and helpful. I found the location convenient, close to the airport. Breakfast had many choices (especially the fresh fruit). I enjoyed eggs cooked by a chef as I liked them. The sea pool was very enjoyable.
