breakfast buffet swim-up bar

The hotel is right on the beach! I had a room with a great sea view. The breakfast buffet offered an amazing selection of foods. I enjoyed the swim-up pool bar. There were plenty of sunbeds with towels provided near the pool.

The air conditioning blew right in my face while I was sleeping. It was not comfortable

wide selection helpful staff sea view basic decor odd lift slow check-in

The breakfast buffet offered a wide selection. Staff were friendly and helpful, I appreciated this. My room had a great sea view from the balcony. It was perfect.

The room decor was very basic I found. The lift opened directly into the restaurant. This felt odd. Check-in was very slow and awkward, not ideal.

Excellent Stay with minor inconvenience!

generous selection upgraded room good food stones massage

The breakfast buffet had a generous selection. The food at the See Lounge tasted very good. My room got upgraded from beautiful to superior and it was great. I received a warm stones massage and facial at the spa, which I really needed.

The hotel showed minor signs of wear and tear though the room was clean. It was not enough to spoil my visit though it was noticeable.

Location

The hotel is close to the beach with a clear view. It has direct access to it that is great. The hotel is also situated near a strip of shops and restaurants that guests might find useful.

The breakfast was quite disappointing. The selection was not great, and the quality seemed average. I also noticed the rooms were noisy. I could hear conversations from the neighboring room, hard to relax.
