a great vacation stay
sea view clean beach friendly staff
i got a room with a sea view balcony and it was great. there were more than enough sunbeds both on the beach and around the pools. the beach was great and always clean. the people made my holiday really great (especially fabian and jovita on reception!).
i didn't like that staffs were not knowledgeable about food allergies! my children wanted a dessert and it resulted in a reaction. this resort was our last stop before coming home, and i was so scared! their compensation was free dinner.
