Pros:

Despite a few minor drawbacks, we had a fantastic stay. The hotel is wonderful, the food is delicious, the views are stunning, and it's the perfect place for peace, quiet, and relaxation.

Cons:

There are no towel hooks or racks, the Wi-Fi is weak, the private pool water is too cold, and there is a very limited selection of non-alcoholic drinks.

Magnificent stay
Pros:

Its just perfect! Loved every single moment in there wish if I stayed longer ! Perfect location with wonderful views and a very nice beach .. the breakfast was great too .. the room layout was good and it was very clean and comfortable.. the staff were extra nice ! Would definitely love to come again and stay longer

Cons:

The only downside to me that they informed me that they do a strict policy regarding reserve the sun beds .. even though people was still do reserve and no one did a thing about it
It made it difficult to find a good spot.

Pros:

I loved the facilities in general. The staff were great and the beach was lovely. Our room was spacious, clean and modern. Food on the whole was great.

Cons:

The culture of reserving sunbeds early in the morning. Some beds were reserved by 7am and left unused until midday. The hotel could do more here.

In addition, whilst our spa treatment was great, we found the new spa facilities were lacking. The cold plunge isn’t cold enough, the warm plunge not warm enough and the new type of sauna didn’t really work properly.

Pros:

החוף מקסים ומוגן מהרוח. הצוות מקסים מקסים וזמין מאוד.
שעות הטיסות שלנו השתנו והם היו מאוד גמישים איתנו בשעות הצק אין וצק אווט. זה ממש השפיע לטובה על הביקור.

Cons:

קצת לתפוס מיטה על החוף...
