I had a truly wonderful stay at this resort! The breathtaking gardens and easy beach access created a serene environment perfect for relaxation. The rooms were spacious and had lovely balconies, though I did notice some slight issues with cleanliness at times. The dining options were satisfactory; I particularly enjoyed the desserts but wish the breakfast could have offered more variety. Overall, a great value for the price with a few minor drawbacks.

We had a fantastic time at this hotel which offers beautiful gardens and a peaceful atmosphere, perfect for a relaxing vacation. The beach is just steps away, and we found plenty of options for dining both on-site and nearby. However, the dining experience could use some improvement as not everything was up to par. The hotel pools were lovely, but we noticed that the availability of sunbeds could get competitive during peak hours.

We had a relaxing week at this hotel, enjoying its beautiful gardens and peaceful atmosphere. The beach access and pool facilities were really enjoyable, and we found various dining options nearby. However, it could get a bit crowded at the pool in the mornings, and the room we had felt a little outdated, which detracted slightly from our overall experience.

This hotel offers a lovely balance of tranquility and convenience, with a peaceful location just a short distance from the lively center. The rooms provide stunning sea views and enjoyable outdoor spaces, making for a pleasant stay overall. However, families with young children might find the accommodations slightly challenging at times. Dining options are somewhat limited, which could be an area for improvement, though there are great restaurants nearby.
