This was my first visit to this hotel, and i must say i was impressed! the hotel was clean, a real testament to the staff's hard work. i appreciated how close it was to local shops and restaurants. Very convenient for exploring. there were always plenty of sunbeds available by the pool, so relaxing was always an option!
I had a minor inconvenience regarding the deposit. i was told about the €100 deposit during check-in. I didn't get it back within the promised 7 days. i tried contacting them via email, but received no response, so i was left frustrated.

Fantastic Stay!

organized buffetheated waterunmaintained tennis court
The buffet was organized. I loved the variety and high standards of food, especially the local options. Both pools featured heated water and the fridge in my room was very helpful to keep my drinks cool at night.
The hotel claims to have a tennis court, but it is not maintained. If you plan to play tennis, consider choosing a different hotel.
