quiet atmospherecold private pool
The hotel looked great in pictures. The lack of music created a weird vibe. Quiet is fine but this was too quiet. My room wasn't exactly cheap so I expected better sound management. The location felt isolated. I needed a taxi for everything. I paid extra for a private pool it was cold

amazing stay!

friendly staffclean roomexcellent service
i had a fab stay with friends! everything was flawless, starting with the staff were nice and pro at reception. porters, housekeeping, and the people in the bars and restaurants were all great. the room was lovely and clean, the service was excellent, and the food and drinks were great too. we ate in several restaurants and the food and service there were excellent.
the hotel is very beautiful but it is not luxurious. the premium swim up rooms are pointless if you love getting a sun tan! there's only sun before 12pm, after that there's only shade.
