the hotel seemed like stepping into a charming greek village. the staff had smiles always ready. there were many activities to keep children entertained. the sea views from the pool added to the relaxing experience.
the minibar selection lacked high-quality brands which was disappointing. i found that the food quality had some inconsistencies. some chicken dishes were not fried well enough. pushy guests impacted the dining experience.

the food was a bit of a letdown, honestly. i found the buffet food repetitive most nights (even though the a la carte restaurant was divine). also, the main pools got overcrowded during the day. it was hard to find a quiet spot if you wanted to relax away from the crowds. it was hard to enjoy food variety, overcrowded pools

I found the room spacious. It had a comfortable bed and a nice balcony. The bathroom included a rainfall shower. I used the complimentary toiletries. They were frequently restocked. The resort had multiple pools, so I always found a spot to swim.
I noticed some guests reserved sunbeds early. Some were unoccupied for hours.
