This resort is absolutely fantastic, especially after the lockdown, and the staff really went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful time. The rooms were spacious and the amenities were great, making our stay very comfortable. The location is just perfect, close to the beach and within walking distance to various restaurants. My only minor complaint was the pool water was quite chilly, which kept some guests from fully enjoying it. Overall, this place is the ideal spot for a relaxing getaway.

This hotel is a wonderful retreat with a beautiful beach and a vibrant atmosphere. The rooms are comfortable and clean, making for a pleasant stay. The staff is exceptional, especially Luigi, whose energy creates a fun environment for both kids and adults.

The hotel has excellent service and a great breakfast, and the private beach is really enjoyable. However, I found the rules about bringing outside food and drink quite restrictive, as well as the prices for in-house dining being very high. The Wi-Fi could also be more reliable, which was a bit frustrating during my stay.

My family and I had an amazing time at the resort, with beautiful views of the bay and a very clean beach area. The staff were incredibly attentive and friendly, making our stay more enjoyable. However, the pool was quite cold during our visit due to maintenance work, which took away a bit from the experience. Despite this, we found the variety of food options at the dining facilities to be outstanding.
