The abundance and variety of food available at the main buffet have been consistently praised by guests, although some note the lack of fresh orange juice and long queues due to COVID restrictions. The rooms are generally modern, spacious and luxurious, although some guests note issues with cleanliness and outdated furniture. The staff is friendly, attentive and goes above and beyond to make guests feel welcome and comfortable. The private beach and water park are excellent, well-organized and perfect for water sports, but some guests note issues with plastic waste and stones while swimming. The hotel is great for families with a mini kids club, playground and water park and family suites that were highly reviewed. However, some guests note discomfort with the beds and a lack of comfortable options for toddlers and infants. The hotel is generally considered an excellent choice for a peaceful and fun vacation by the sea, although some guests feel that it does not justify the 5-star luxury rating.
