I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, located next to the beach and surrounded by beautiful scenery. My Beach Villa with a pool was just like the pictures - clean, spacious, and very comfortable. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making me feel right at home. However, I found the dining options a bit overpriced, especially for those without half-board. Overall, it was great value for money, but the dining experience could use some improvement.
