the food was excellent! the buffet offered a lot of variety. the architecture was carefully planned, though i wish there were more activities available. the details were really nice.
the staff wasn't so cute! the reception staff had a rude attitude. customer service reminded me of a take it or leave it approach, though i did mention this to the manager. sunbeds are old! and worn out.

the food was acceptable.
The room i had was quite noisy, particularly because of the loud music from nearby concerts that went on until late. It really made it hard to sleep well.

The hotel staff was always very kind and ready to help. I especially liked breakfast on the beach. I found sunbeds by the pool and beach comfortable (I spent most of the time there!). The airport was not far away.
The noise from the nearby street was occasionally noticeable. (It didn't ruin my stay though.)
