A great place for value for money and a great location for local shops and restaurants.
Pros:

We were warmly welcomed by the reception staff as well as the general manager who greeted us each time we bumped into one another. A special thank you to Sandu (apologies if this is spelt incorrectly) who was alsways visible at reception and able to answer any questions we had about the area.
There was a variety of food at breakfast too with international and local cuisine.
We booked a suite which was very spacious with plenty of room for a family of 3. The views were outstanding as the suite offered both pool and beach view.
The swimming pool was a perfect length for swimming and the shaded seating area in between the pool and the beach was great for relaxing in the afternoon.
