“What stands out is a commitment to all-inclusive family stays, with kids' clubs and entertainment. The hotel's thalassotherapy spa treatments distinguish it, using local seawater for wellness programs. While the architecture is a bit dated, the staff's friendliness and service are consistently noted as exceptional.”
