Room was nice great view. Location right on the beach ...excellent.

The food was not great. I was half board, but on the second night I chose to eat in the beach bar (which is great) and pay extra for it rather than eat in the included diner in the restaurant.

Friendly staff, the pool area was nice to relax, the beach was just one step away. We had half board, so in general the buffet was average-good, with a few different options every night.

- The beach was the only thing close to this location, and to go to the city center it needed a 40min bus ride. Nothing more at walking distance. - Other facilities like the gym and paddle courts were at extra cost. For the price I would expect them to be included. - It is nice that they had a program of activities, but that also meant music every night until 11pm that could be heard on half of the rooms (terrace towards the inner court)

Helpful staff. There is an effort to improve the hotel.

The sea is very bad. Probably sewage is flowing from the surroundings, they had closed the beach three weeks ago and then reopened it. Its quality is low for its price. Should be one of the last choices in the area.
