I found the food to be quite good. There were two pools available . The location was convenient. It was close to both the beach and shops. I liked the friendliness of the staff. They were always willing to help.

The shower in the room caused the floor to flood. The beds felt very hard. I found that wasps were a constant problem around the pool area, this made it difficult to relax.

the room included a kettle and a hairdryer, convenient. the pools were very clean, and i appreciated that there were no sunbed wars (plenty available even at 10 am). the hotel is just a short walk to the main street, a definite plus.

the toilet doors in the room had a unique design (glass with a gap), which might not suit everyone's taste.
