A beautiful hotel, with a decent array of restaurants. The staff in and around the hotel were always helpful, our children loved staying at the hotel, the pool and kids club offered a lot. Larger rooms on the ground floor with access to the quiet pool is probably the only thing missing

Overall a great experience. The grounds of the hotel are amazing, including the garden, the pools and the spa. The beach is ok and the rooms are a bit outdated. The food is amazing and the service fantastic. Great place for families, they even have a "mini Waterpark" for the little ones.

One of the best services I have experienced on a hotel. Great personell, great beach and fasilities. If you want to relax, I would recommend it. However, the restaurants in the hotel is very expensive. Too expensive to be honest. In addition, in the evening, there was little to do after the meal.
