Relaxing stay

I enjoyed the hydro pool and steam sauna. The staff showed a professional attitude. They upgraded our room, which I found to be a kind gesture. I particularly enjoyed the continental breakfast. The cheese and ham were tasty.
the room felt a bit far from reception. Navigating the corridors took extra time. I think improving signage might help guests locate their rooms more easily. A clearer layout would be beneficial.

I enjoyed the heated outside pool and its proximity to the beach. Breakfast next to the sea was a highlight , with beautiful views. The staff were helpful and provided good service.
The menu was the same each night , so it was a little limiting.

Fantastic Hotel with Amazing Views
beautiful double roomprivate balconiessea viewair-con
I appreciated the beautiful double sea view room with a balcony. It was fortunate to have a corner room on the second floor, offering a 180-degree view. This included the sea and two private balconies. The bed felt more like a king size, great for taller guests. The air-conditioning worked well, and I found plenty of amenities.
I found ordering drinks on the terrace slow. My food arrived before my wine. There seemed to be only one person working the bar, very busy.
