I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, with exceptional service from the staff who truly made my experience memorable. The views from my room were breathtaking, and the pool areas were always clean and inviting. However, I did face a few challenges with the room cleanliness and the need for better food options. The hotel provides good value for money overall.

We had a wonderful family holiday with some friends at this hotel. The views were absolutely stunning, and the variety of activities for kids kept them entertained throughout our stay. While the food could be a bit repetitive after two weeks, there was something for everyone. However, the steep hill and the cold saltwater pools were definitely challenges. Overall, it was great value for money, but be prepared for a bit of walking.
