mediocre stay with some issues

old equipment rude staff
the breakfast had a good selection of food.
the gym had very old equipment (i reminded me of i was in a museum) and that was quite disappointing. the room cleaning was performed very late at 5pm and the staff at the swimming pool weren't very friendly. it reminded me of i was bothering them just by being there (maybe i was).

a treasure by the sea

spacious villa short walk swim-up bar
It was spacious and tranquil. the short walk to nearby shops and restaurants made exploring easy. the pools were gorgeous, and i particularly enjoyed the swim-up bar. It was a welcome treat after a day in the sun.
the hotel had no dedicated car service to reach the airport. i had to rely on external services and was anxious about potential delays or cancellations.

mixed feelings about this stay.

The breakfast had a lot of options. That was acceptable.
The air conditioning in the room was not great. It was old and difficult to regulate so i was often too hot or too cold, nothing in between.
