Excellent Hotel Experience

I had a room with a large bedroom, a nice bathroom, and a spacious kitchen with a dining and lounge area. The balcony offered a lovely sea view. Breakfast included many choices and was very tasty.

The pool was quite cold. I could only use it briefly. The outside hydro pool had the same issue. The temperature needs to be warmer to fully enjoy the spa experience, especially outside of summer.
