fantastic stay, was really good!
comfortable bedsfree shuttle
the hotel was clean every single day i saw staff maintaining super clean conditions the rooms are of a really good standard with comfortable beds and fresh linens available i found it simple to always get a sunbed when i wanted one there were plenty available. i especially liked the free shuttle service to the beach it made getting around very convenient and easy for me.
the cocktails were pre-made i found they lacked that fresh vibrant taste i was hoping for but everything else was pretty great.
