Un posto dove tornare!
Pros:

Hotel davvero bello! Ottima posizione, ampi spazi, piscine con sdraio comode, spiaggia subito sotto. Camera stupenda, letto gigante super comodo e anche la culla del bimbo. Molto attenti a tutto, ho anche trovato per sorpresa in camera torta e spumante con un biglietto di auguri per il mio compleanno! Davvero un posto in cui tornare

Óptimo para um short break em época baixa, recomendo a quem precisa de descansar e penso repetir!
Pros:

Quartos do hotel confortáveis. Nota-se que foram remodelados recentemente. O pequeno almoço era muito bom. Piscina e ginásio também bastante bons. Destaco o conforto da propriedade, com tudo a uma curta distância a pé e com parque de estacionamento subterrâneo.

Cons:

Sendo um hotel grande, o serviço personalizado torna-se difícil, mas no geral todo o staff era super simpático e sempre pronto a ajudar. A praia está mais pequena, devido ao desgaste e alterações climáticas, mas é uma boa praia. As renovações do hotel podiam ter sido melhores pois nota-se que os materiais não vão aguentar muito muito nas melhores condições.
