Had a great family trip to the hotel! It's very clean, and the food was good overall. We enjoyed our time at the pool, but I feel like singles or couples might not have the same experience. The beach, unfortunately, was a bit disappointing due to its cleanliness.

Our stay had some ups and downs. The hotel offered a beautiful pool area, which we enjoyed, but unfortunately, the cleanliness was quite lacking. We experienced some food-related issues which left us feeling quite unwell. On a positive note, the staff was generally quite nice and eager to assist. Overall, I would say you might want to think twice before booking your stay here if cleanliness is a priority for you.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. The amenities were quite enjoyable, and I was impressed with the quality of the food. However, the experience was marred by the poor management and check-in process, which left a bad taste in my mouth. The value for money just didn't seem to align with what was promised, especially regarding extra charges and Wi-Fi not being inclusive.
