It was a fantastic resort with many facilities. Good for families, the pool access is amazing. The staff are all friendly and cheerful. We were so surprised to find a small chocolate cake. The hotel celebrated my son's birthday and this is what they will do for the guests. I will definitely return again. You have both the beach and the pools at your convenience. Dining options nearby is great and we love Blu Wave restaurant. My whole family love staying at Arinara.
