The room was spacious with excellent water pressure in the shower. I found the pools lovely.. they offered a refreshing escape from the heat. The location is strategic. It allowed easy access to local shops and restaurants.

The fitness suite was quite small and weights only went up to 15 kg. One of the treadmills was broken, which limited the workout options.

i enjoyed my stay. the beautiful room included a bath and views facing the pool. i could walk from our room directly into the pool and the bar was conveniently opposite. the managers were helpful in arranging my airport transfer, and they surprised me with a birthday cake in my room.

the beach is not directly accessible. it's a 5 to 10 minute walk because a wall blocks direct access.

lazy river separate pools omelette station

The pools were a highlight for me. I enjoyed the lazy river and the separate pools allowed for relaxation. The breakfast offered many choices. The omelette station was a nice touch, especially with the fresh ingredients on offer.

I encountered a minor inconvenience during check-in. I had to wait a little longer than expected because of a small queue at the front desk.
