Çok memnun kaldık. IA restoranda balığın fazla pişirildiğini ve kuru olduğunu garsona söyledim. 5 dk sonra şef ile Uttam

Plaj çok güzel. Çalışanlar yardımcı.

Çok büyük bir alana kurulu. Plajdan odaya yürümek yokuş yukarı olduğu için yorucu olabilir, gerçi biz deniz manzaralı bir odada kaldık, bu sorunu yaşamadık. Denize yakın odaların konumu sosyal tesislerede yakın.

In general a lovely resort on a beautiful beach. Good value for money.

8.0

Lovely architecture and beautiful grounds. Very comfortable room and direct access to beautiful beach. We felt safe and everyone was very friendly and welcoming. Very clean.

The restaurants were not particularly memorable in terms of food options, buffet was better in comparison. The shower in the room did not drain properly and the ceiling fan did not work and was not fixed despite us reporting it.

La playa es lo mejor que hay, personal muy amoroso y atentos. .

Mi marido se enfermó del estómago por algo que comió o tomó en el hotel, estuvo 2 días con diarrea y tuvo que ir al hospital. La cama muy dura, podrían ponerle un topper. La habitación que nos tocó había que caminar mucho y no hay carritos disponibles siempre. Pensamos que iba a a tener más fiestas o actividades entretenidas
