totally gorgeous stay!

fine hotel ample sunbeds pool view

i was so happy about my time here! the hotel is so well kept and fine i think. there were always plenty of sunbeds available near the beach when the pool area got a little crowded plus i really loved the pool and the views from it. i would pick this place again for sure, if i come back!

i thought the restaurant closed a little early. there wasn't anywhere else nearby to grab breakfast, so that was a little inconvenient!
