Great
Pros:

Staff were polite and room was nice and clean. Good air con and shower was great. Would recommend hiring a scooter to get around.

Cons:

Resort is in progress it seems of renovation and also a lot of building work noise from next door made it hard to relax around the pool or balcony.

Comfortable and quiet with good facilities, but poor service from reception staff made the stay disa
Pros:

The pool was good, the hotel was quiet, and the rooms were kept clean. Breakfast was also good with nice options, and overall it was comfortable for a family stay.

Cons:

The main issue was the staff attitude, especially at the reception. The staff were unfriendly and did not know how to deal with guests properly, which affected the overall experience.

Hôtel très moyen
Pros:

L'espace des chambres les lits sont plutôt confortable

Cons:

C'est un hôtel vieillissant. Le petit-déjeuner est plutôt variés mais pas très bon. Le personnel à l’accueil n'est pas très sympathique. Il est présenté comme un hôtel 5* mais je le qualifierais plutôt d'un 3*.

Clean and spacious rooms but limiting food options
Pros:

The rooms were large and clean. The pool was also nice, but far from the main building where we had our room.
The spa was excellent and provided good service options.

Cons:

The breakfast was very limiting especially for vegetarians. There was no variety offered and generally only 1 or 2 items that we could consume apart from the salad and fruits. Also the lack of a travel desk/concierge was a little challenging for booking attractions through the hotel.
