Overall, I had a fantastic holiday at this hotel! The location right by the beach is perfect, and the rooms were spacious and clean. The dining options were varied and generally delicious, although there were some minor issues with the buffet experience. The staff were attentive and friendly, helping to create a welcoming atmosphere. However, there are areas, particularly the bathrooms, that could use some updates to enhance the experience even further.

The hotel is situated in a lovely seaside location, with easy access to a clean beach and plenty of comfortable sunbeds. The rooms are spacious and well-maintained, and I appreciated the friendly atmosphere throughout my stay. However, I found the dining experience to be quite standard and lacking in unique options. While overall enjoyable, it came with a hefty price tag that may give you pause, especially if traveling with teenagers.
