I stayed at this resort for four weeks and enjoyed the stunning sea view from my studio apartment, although the rooms could definitely use some improvements. The location was fantastic, right next to the beach, but the service left much to be desired with rude and unhelpful staff. Overall, there were great amenities and a nice breakfast selection, but the value for money was questionable due to several frustrations during my stay.

The hotel is situated in a perfect location for a relaxing beach holiday, just a short walk from the lovely beach. However, the rooms were quite basic and in desperate need of renovation, which was disappointing. The service, while lovely and attentive at times, could be improved as there were some unfriendly staff interactions. Overall, it's suitable if you're looking for a budget-friendly stay but don’t expect luxury.
