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.
