Pros:

Nos ha gustado mucho el hotel, es verdad que podían reformarlo un poco, pero en general nos ha gustado.
El apartamento era amplio, las camas muy cómodas, la piscina muy chula.
El desayuno tenía bastante variedad, lo único que la cena tenía poca.
El personal muy amable, quitando una persona del comedor, pero los demás genial.
Tiene amplio aparcamiento gratuito.

Cons:

La poca variedad de la cena.

The hotel is very beautiful with great pools, but I’d recommend taking a car to the beach.
Pros:

Spacious and clean apartment. Air conditioners in both rooms. Large terrace-balcony.
They provide extra towels free of charge for the pool. The pool is clean and quite large. There were enough sunbeds, and we always found a place to relax. The hotel lobby is very beautiful.
During dinner, a wonderful band was playing live music. There’s free table tennis and outdoor tennis available.

Cons:

There is parking for cars, but it's not always possible to park right by the entrance — sometimes we had to use the farthest parking spot.
There was no iron in the room; you need to request one from the reception.

Razoável
Pros:

Pequeno almoco fantástico e jantares muito bons,o staff do buffet 5 estrelas simpatia verdadeira.

Cons:

Não gostei das baratas que havia no apartamento nomeadamente nas wcs, desde uma base de duche remendada cortinas de pano das wcs. Azulejos partidos nas juntas das banheira e duche sobretudo.
Fiquei dececionada apenas com isto saio da minha casa para usufruir como tenho fobia de baratas foi um pânico para a família, sai de lá a fazer a mala no exterior para sacudir peças a peças. 2 vez neste alojamento, não volto impossível! Embora o staff fantástico!
A piscina não tem espreguiçadeiras disponíveis para o numero de hospedes diários!
As condutas de escoamento da berma da piscina precisam de ser limpas, a agua da piscina em 4 dias achei que estava muito turva pouco usei. Quando íamos 5 pessoas a piscina usávamos 1 espreguiçadeira para por as toalhas e era a sorte, não tem chapéus de sol, suficientes, o apartamento não é muito acolhedor sofá com alguma sujidade do tempo, tive 1 ano a espera destas ferias só tive vontade de ir embora fora as baratas, já tínhamos pago não houve nada a fazer nem ninguém do hotel se preocupou passado 1 semana de me enviar um email nada!! Quando ia a receção sorriam a acenavam a cabeça! 1700€ 4 noites foi o pior deste ano para mim.
