We liked the hotel. It is divided into 3 buildings, our was building C which is closest to the pool and breakfast room. The room was of a good size, the view from the balcony, even if it says “partial sea view”, was great. The bed was not comfortable in my opinion. The AC was adequate and water pressure in the shower was good. There is no hair conditioner, no iron in the room. One free bottle of water, but a super market is 5 min away. Breakfast was standard, good choice of food and pastries but the coffee was terrible. There was no coffee making machine, only filtered coffee of a bad quality. The staff was very friendly and pleasant. The pool is heated, some people found it too warm, but we liked it. Plenty of loungers. Gorgeous sea view from the pool terrace. I would stay again.
