Very good food. Can be tough getting reservations for dinner. Some rooms don’t have beach access due to rocks. Not a ton of night entertainment. Very clean. Friendly staff. Easy checkin. Able to get taxi easily when leaving.

Overall it was a great hotel, very clean and friendly stuff. However, food was tasteless and they were charging extra for their sunbeds and their papalas in their own beach which was a turn off.
