Overall great experience!
Pros:

Great stay with plenty of breakfast options, excellent facilities, and a fantastic location just steps from the beach. Overall, it was a wonderful experience.

Cons:

The sun loungers on the designated hotel beach area could ideally be complimentary, considering the hotel’s five-star rating and the price of the stay.
