The pools were a highlight of my stay. there were plenty of sun loungers available, and the water was very clean. the al fresco dining was also enjoyable on alternate nights. I liked the entertainment provided by the pool bar area.
The gym was disappointing, especially considering this is a 5-star hotel. it was a small area with limited equipment. It needed some maintenance. tv reception was also poor. The signal was intermittent making it difficult to watch the news.
