Empfehlenswert, schöne Anlage mit super Buffets
Pros:

freundlicher Empfang, Parkplatz vor Eingang, abwechslungsreiche Top Buffets Frühstück/MIttag und Abendessen, auch die Snacks ganzen Tag über super. 2 Pools, eines mit Brücke und Palmen, optisch schön. Schönes Zimmer mit Balkon. Abends Live Musik, Sushi Bar, etc. Late check out (mein Flieger ging erst abends) war auch kein Problem

Cons:

der Handlauf bei den Stufen beim Palmen Pool fehlt. etwas zu wenig Liegen bei den Pools. Zum Strand in der Hitze gehen schon etwas weit ca. 450m

It was very relaxing and good value.
Pros:

It was a good size pool plenty of lounger’s, staff were very friendly making sure everything was okay with you, room was good with a nice view of olive groves and hills in the distance, and a big thanks to the chef who cooked delicious pizza to snack on the hole stay

Cons:

Nothing really, locations are what they are and this one felt industrial but pleasant at the same time.
