I was really disappointed during my recent stay. The location was decent with a beautiful beach nearby, but the overall state of the apartment was quite poor. While I appreciated the natural surroundings and the clear sea, the apartment itself was dirty and lacked basic amenities. The service was frustrating and unprofessional, making the experience far from relaxing. It definitely did not feel like a family-friendly resort as advertised.

My stay was a mix of highs and lows. The apartments have a great spacious feel, and the location is perfect, being so close to the beach. However, I encountered some serious issues with the overall state of the resort, which has definitely seen better days. While the friendly ambiance remains, the facilities felt below par this time around, impacting my overall experience.

Service was lacking; I had to remind the staff multiple times regarding essential items like a fan, which I needed for comfort. It's not ideal when you're a paying guest.

While the large grounds provide ample walking space, the overall state of maintenance is lacking with scruffy areas and empty shops, which detracts from the experience.

We had a fantastic family holiday at the resort, enjoying a spacious three-bedroom apartment at a great price. The surrounding area offered a pristine beach just a short walk away and various dining options nearby. The friendly atmosphere and smiling faces from the staff made our stay even more enjoyable. However, while the accommodations were clean and comfortable, they felt a bit dated, and the dining options could use a bit more variety, especially for breakfast.

I had a very mixed experience at this resort. While the surrounding area is nice and there are some very friendly staff members, the resort itself feels quite run down and in need of maintenance. The lack of basic amenities like a fan for an airless room made it uncomfortable, and I felt uneasy due to the behavior of some guests. Overall, it was disappointing, and we left early despite having previously enjoyed our stays.

I had a mixed experience at the resort. On one hand, I loved the clean, comfortable room with a spacious balcony offering a nice view. The staff was incredibly welcoming and helpful, creating a friendly atmosphere. On the other hand, the resort itself seemed a bit rundown and could use some maintenance. The security concerns and lack of basic amenities made my stay less relaxing than I had hoped.
