I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were very spacious with lovely sea views, and the hospitality and friendliness from all of the staff, including the chambermaid, made me feel right at home. The self-catering apartments that everyone was raving about lived up to the hype too.

The hotel is located in an unbeatable spot with direct access to a wonderful beach, offering a great view of the sea. The rooms are fully equipped with toys, books, and video games, but the noise from kids outside affected the tranquility. The service was excellent, especially in providing amenities like tennis rackets. The dining experience was a disappointment, however, the hotel's magical location made up for it.

I had an amazing stay at the hotel! The rooms were perfect for families with two bedrooms and a spacious living area, and the location right next to the beach was unbeatable. The service was exceptional, and the dining experience, although not perfect, had its moments. Overall, a wonderful place for a relaxed family getaway with excellent facilities.

The hotel offers clean and spacious rooms with lovely sea views and exceptional hospitality from the staff. While the furniture may not be the most comfortable and the window height limits the view when seated, the rooms are fab with a delightful bath in-room.
