“The property has spacious apartments suited for families or groups and heated indoor pool with a removable roof; it is a family-friendly resort with multiple pools and leisure activities, and it is close to Garajau Beach and marine nature reserve. However, some aspects, such as outdated rooms and noise issues, detract from the experience. This might not be the best value, in my opinion.”
