the staff upgraded my large family to a villa , and we were all very comfortable! it was like a big blessing to have the whole family together in one large villa instead of being squeezed into smaller separate hotel rooms. we really were pleased with having stayed there.

I always stay there, the staff is always very friendly and polite. i was offered a newly acquired apartment very close to the main hotel. it was a spacious three bedroom with two bathrooms and three balconies with front and back sea views. This is ideal for family. i had full use of the hotel's facilities including breakfast each morning.

the pool area can be crowded with locals, sometimes limiting access for hotel guests.

Good Choice for a Relaxing Stay

helpful staffspacious villabig blessingawful shower

The staff upgraded my family to a villa. It was comfortable and spacious for our entire stay. It really seemed like a big blessing. We were all together instead of being in separate smaller rooms.

The shower did not work well. The bathroom was flooded after each use. There was no mattress protector on the bed. The experience was unpleasant.
