The resort has stunning beachfront views and a lovely pool area that we enjoyed very much. Our room was modern and well-equipped, and the hosts were welcoming. However, there were some maintenance issues, such as rubbish around the parking lot and disappointing cleanliness in the room. The dining options were decent but not overwhelming, and the location requires some travel to reach nearby attractions.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the location is beautiful and offers stunning views, the cleanliness and service were incredibly disappointing. The amenities could use some upgrades, and I found the price to be not reflective of the overall value. If you're looking for a clean and comfortable stay, this may not be the best choice.

The hotel is advertised as a resort but falls short in many areas, particularly the condition of the rooms and overall cleanliness. Although the pool is somewhat maintained, the lack of attention to basic amenities and the disengagement of staff make for a frustrating experience. I would not recommend staying here, especially for the price paid.

I had a wonderful vacation at this hotel with my family, enjoying the beautiful beachfront views and a range of activities like bumper ball and beach volleyball. The apartment was spacious and clean, making it a great place for our family getaway. However, I did notice some cleanliness issues, especially in certain areas like the corridors and reception which left us a bit disappointed.

I had mixed feelings about my stay at this resort. While the location near the beach was fantastic for our family holiday, the room cleanliness and overall service left much to be desired. The view from our apartment was lovely, offering a low-key vibe by the fishing village, but the facilities were not well-maintained. Unfortunately, the experience felt a bit overpriced for what we received.
