a decent stay with a few hiccups

kept gardenflower displayextra feedance showno solution-oriented stuff
i liked the well-kept garden and the fantastic flower display at the hotel entrance! the breakfast was good, it easily got me through the day. i appreciated the spacious room it had a toilet separate from the shower and washbasin.
we were asked to pay an extra fee of 30 dollars per person since new year's eve was a special night. there was no specially planned program other than a dance show at the beginning of the new year. a dj played instead of the live music i expected and they were not solution-oriented.

Relaxing Stay in a Tranquil Setting

private beachspacious roombreakfast buffet
The hotel features a private beach area with good access to the sea. I enjoyed the large, spacious room with a big balcony. Poolside loungers are great for sunbathing, and the pool bar offers refreshing drinks. (The cocktails were well-made, though a bit slow.) The breakfast buffet includes a solid selection of dishes that should cover most tastes.
I noticed the Wi-Fi signal was weak in some areas of the resort.
Rooms

The room had two separate sinks and a rainfall shower. There was also effective and silent air conditioning. The provided mosquito net ensured a comfortable night, and the balcony offered a nice view of the surroundings.

excellent hotel with great service

The staff was very friendly and helpful. i especially appreciated the russian lady from management. She was kind and helpful. i also found the quality finish of the rooms to be a very nice touch. they.
the waiters were quite slow when serving. i stayed two nights , and on the second night , it took 30 minutes to get water and 1 hour and 20 minutes for the food. this delay was significant and detracted from the dining experience.
