We had a beautiful room with a private terrace. The room was huge, as was the bathroom. Everything was clean and we had our room serviced every day with new towels. The pool area was stunning and so was the private beach on the marina. We spent a lot of time here during our stay. You get new beach towels every day which is great. Breakfast had a wide range of options and was lovely in a lovely setting under the olive trees. This is such a beautiful hotel highly recommend! The only thing I would improve is having slightly cheaper drink options - a beer was the equivalent of £11, which isn’t great. Apart from that, everything was wonderful. Thank you for a great stay!
