Guests frequently highlight the beautifully decorated and spacious rooms, especially the swim-up rooms, as a major plus. The beach, with its clean sand and comfortable loungers, also stands out as a favorite spot. Many appreciate the variety of food options, from the Taverna restaurant's breakfast overlooking the beach to the delicious meals at the Steakhouse and Asian restaurant, while some guests have noted occasional sewage smells near certain rooms. The mini bar being replenished daily is another commonly enjoyed perk.
