Fantastic Stay with Beautiful Sea Views

fine views immaculate hotel warm atmosphere smooth service
Our suite offered fine sea views that enhanced our entire stay. I found the hotel really clean, with a warm atmosphere throughout. The restaurant service was attentive, everything ran smoothly during my meals.
The breakfast choices were somewhat limited. I would have liked to see a bit more variety for such a highly rated hotel.

The spa area includes a pool, jacuzzi, sauna, and steam room, all well-kept. A fitness center is on-site. It features modern equipment, offering guests a chance to exercise (which I personally appreciated).

The continental breakfast featured a plentiful selection of items (especially the pastries!). The restaurant offers beautiful views, so you can have great vistas to admire while enjoying the meal, though reservations are recommended to secure a table.

I enjoyed the Family Double Room. It offered a separate room. That was very helpful for the children (so everyone had enough space).
The hotel did not offer air conditioning in the rooms, only a fan was available.
