    The good and the bad

    The Good::: Excellent facility, 3 pools. One only for the plus package. Super clean areas, very well maintained common areas. Bedding:: excellent Beach:: excellent Pools excellent The Bad:: The food, buffet ok, but the specialty restaurants the food was horrible, and not a lot of choices. No wait staff to bring you drinks by the pool or beach area. You have to go to the bar. When I am on vacation I like that type of service.

    Beautiful spacious friendly hotel in. Stunning setting

    A beautiful clean friendly hotel in a stunning setting, great pools and beach area with friendly happy staff. Pools were so clean and well maintained along with seating areas. Food was great in buffet and ate in the Italian. Rooms lovely spacious and amazing views I read some of the negative comments before coming and I have to say ignore them and enjoy it I don’t know why people have given it such a low rating we had a lovely time.

    💔

    I went to this hotel, and they mistreat animals. I can't believe how far humans can go. Besides the bad service, mistreating a small animal is just not fair. They even fired one of their employees just for giving food to a dog that was in terrible condition.
