Acceptable hotel, some issues noticed

friendly staff amazing pools overpriced food limited menu

The staff was friendly and helpful . The pools were amazing. I ESPECIALLY enjoyed the natural pool that overlooks the sea. The service was great. The room had flowers upon arrival.

I noticed the food was overpriced, and portions were small. The menu was limited. The hotel is NOT beachfront, and there is no gym. A car takes guests to the beach several kilometers away.
