Fantastic Stay with Great Facilities

The room was spacious and beautifully fitted. I especially enjoyed the added bonus of a tub. The gym had quality machines , made my workouts great. The location had many restaurants nearby, perfect. I also appreciated the clean beach.
The music by the pool was quite loud, and it felt a bit like a 90's resort, which didn't quite match the hotel's otherwise great atmosphere.
