Spacious and Comfortable

I recently stayed in a lovely spacious apartment with a kitchenette that included a dishwasher and an oven. The rooms were sparkling clean and very comfortable, adding a nice touch to our anniversary celebration. The layout allowed for easy movement, and I loved the garden view from our lounge. It truly felt like a private getaway!

Great On-Site Dining

The dining experience at the resort exceeded my expectations. There is a restaurant on-site providing a full meals service for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I had some fantastic meals that were well-prepared and delicious. It was convenient to have access to dining without needing to leave the resort!

Fantastic Shower Experience

During my stay, I was impressed with the large bathroom that featured a fantastic shower head. The water pressure was great, and the hot water never ran out, accommodating my family’s needs wonderfully. It added to the relaxing vibe of my stay, making it very enjoyable!

Relaxing Outdoor Pool Area

I spent some quality time relaxing at the outdoor swimming pool, which was a good size and inviting for a leisurely afternoon. The peaceful environment added a sense of calm to my vacation. While it wasn't heated, we still enjoyed our time there soaking up the sun and unwinding.

I was really let down by my stay at this resort. The accommodation felt expensive for what we received, especially without access to a promised restaurant. The atmosphere was quite dull, and the cleanliness left room for improvement. On the bright side, the views from our apartment were lovely and the beds were comfortable, but overall, it didn't meet my expectations.

My family and I had a pleasant stay, enjoying the spacious rooms and clean environment. The location near the golf course and beach was fantastic, and we appreciated the nice shower and hot water availability. However, we faced some issues with noise from outside and the limited privacy of the ground floor room. Overall, it was decent but not without its hiccups.

I was really looking forward to my stay, but it turned out to be quite disappointing. The location wasn't as convenient as advertised, with a long trek to the beach and the lack of a proper dining experience was really frustrating. The rooms were spacious but felt outdated and poorly maintained. I had high hopes for a relaxing weekend, but instead, it felt like a letdown for both service and amenities.
