    massive pool
    cheerful staff
    lacking breakfast variety

    I had a grand stay here, especially loving the massive pool and the cheerful staff who made my family feel right at home. The only downside was the breakfast could do with a bit more variety. Otherwise, it was a mighty holiday.

    beautiful villas
    friendly staff
    breakfast variety
    unexpected costs

    From skeptic to believer

    The villas are beautifully surrounding a huge pool, creating a serene atmosphere. I loved the clean, quiet rooms and the cheerful staff made me feel incredibly welcome during my stay.

    While the breakfast lacked variety and the safe charge was a surprise, the overall experience was still quite enjoyable despite these minor setbacks.

    The vibrant atmosphere was delightful, with friendly staff making every interaction pleasant. The monkeys roaming in the gardens added a unique charm. While the breakfast had its limitations, everything else was enjoyable and kept clean. a relaxing experience close to the beach!

    hidden fees

    Breakfast options lack variety and quality, leaving much to be desired, while the Wi-Fi connectivity only works at the reception, not in the rooms, which can be inconvenient for those who need to stay connected. the cleanliness of the swimming pool could be improved. reports of it being dirty add to a less-than-ideal experience.

    water polo
    chaotic check-in

    Had a blast at this hotel with friends! The pool is huge, perfect for lounging. We joined in on water polo, which was a highlight. The staff were super friendly and went out of their way to help us. There's water sports and a children's playground for added fun!

    great stay but room for improvement

    The villas are beautifully designed and surround a large pool, making it a lovely place to relax. I was particularly impressed by the well-maintained gardens with vibrant flowers and trees. The staff were exceptionally friendly, always greeting us with warmth. The pool view from my Budget Twin Room added a charming touch to my stay.

    Breakfast options could use more variety.

    huge pool
    inviting oasis
    breakfast options
    limited variety

    The garden view from my room was truly delightful, and the huge pool felt like a serene oasis. It was so inviting that it made me feel like royalty lounging by the waters, enjoying every moment.

    Wider breakfast options for seniors would be nice.
