Pool can get a bit busy at times but still a nice area. Maybe a bit small for the guest numbers. Beach Club arrangements were a disappointment. Aligned Beach Bar fully booked. So not great. Sure it was peak season but the hotel should have asked if needed i think. Staff were great. Restaurant was great.

La struttura è molto bella, silenziosa e rilassante. Consiglierei di migliorare alcune cose: intorno alla piscina, specialmente dalla parte in cui l'acqua è più profonda, far passare qualcuno per dare una spazzata, è piena di semi di palma che danno fastidio durante il cammino; a fine stagione quando svuotate la piscina passare della resina trasparente per tenere incollate le pietre nella parte bassa della pisciana. Per il resto tutto perfetto.

Unfortunately however the hotel is completely let down by the rooms, the beds, the rude young staff and the lack of assistance. We stayed for 3 nights ..."
