The property is clean, tidy and great! Staff are friendly and nice. It’s just opposite the beach. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and the heated pool! The only thing I would say is the edges of the stairs in pool is quite sharp and we did get some small cuts. Otherwise, we love our stay!!

AVOID BOOKING THROUGH "LAST MINUTE" - A TRUELY NON PROFESSIONAL AGENT. Booked through agent "Last minute" but made a mistake, tried to correct it minutes later but the agents office was closed over the weekend and the front office at the hotel was not allowed to correct the reservation. Had to make and pay for a new reservation. Front office tried to arrange a refund when the weekend had passed but failed. The agent just sent an AI generated standad nonsense letter.
