However, there were a few downsides, like the dining options being quite pricey and not that great, which I found disappointing. Overall, it's a good place to unwind, but a few tweaks on the dining front would make it even better.

My stay was quite pleasant overall. The room I had was spacious, featuring a lovely sea view that was incredibly relaxing, along with a terrace and jacuzzi. While the service was attentive and well-managed, the dining could definitely use some improvements, particularly regarding quality and value. The location, while convenient for the airport, had some drawbacks like limited dining options and additional fees for beach amenities.

The hotel is right on the beach, which is great, but be aware it doesn't provide umbrellas, so if it's sunny, you either roast under the sun or pay extra for a reserved area.

I had a wonderful stay at the resort! The rooms were spacious and offered amazing views of the sea, and having a terrace with a jacuzzi made it even more relaxing. The service was attentive, yet at times they seemed a little inexperienced. The location right on the beach provided easy access to sun and sand. While the dining options had variety, some dishes were overpriced, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, the amenities and atmosphere made for a pleasant experience.
