The hotel has a beautiful view of the sea, which I absolutely loved. The staff provided a friendly atmosphere that made our stay enjoyable. However, the overall quality didn't quite match the 4-star rating as expected, with unfinished facilities and cleanliness issues affecting our experience. Additionally, the food was often lukewarm and lacked variety, which was disappointing for an all-inclusive stay.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, enjoying the beautiful ocean views and the friendly service from nearly all the staff. The room was comfortable and clean, which made my stay pleasant.

The pool area was beautiful and spacious, making it a great place to relax, although the sandy beach was a bit of a trek down a steep hill.

7.2/10

My stay at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The team here is incredibly dedicated and goes out of their way to assist, with some standout staff members making my experience enjoyable. However, the dining options could really use some improvement, as I found the buffet to lack variety, and often the food was lukewarm. Additionally, while the hotel had beautiful views, the steep incline made it a tough trek for those who aren’t fit. Overall, it was good value, but there’s potential for it to be much better with a few tweaks.
