Всё было супер!Красивый ,шикарный отель з теплым бассейном,красивой природой!Пляж -бомбический!Номера просторные,все нео
Pros:

Большое спасибо за прекрасный отдых!
Мы отдыхали большой семьёй — 7 человек (4 взрослых и 3 детей), и все остались очень довольны.
Ваш отель превзошёл все наши ожидания! Отличное расположение, уютный номер с видом прямо на море, очень приветливый персонал, тёплый и чистый бассейн, красивая и ухоженная территория.Наличие посудомоечной и стиральной машины,полотенца,кухонные принадлежности и даже был зонт от солнца.
Дети с удовольствием плавали с масками, наблюдали за рыбками и собирали красивые ракушки. Нам очень понравились прогулки по набережной, пляжные бары, фруктовый рынок с огромным выбором фруктов, а все магазины находятся совсем рядом.
Нам очень повезло с погодой, и этот отдых оставил самые тёплые и счастливые воспоминания.Единственно что не хватало,это анимации для детей или хотя би вечерних развлечений для детей.
Спасибо вам за всё! Мы с удовольствием вернёмся снова и с уверенностью будем рекомендовать ваш отель всем своим друзьям и знакомым!
