The hotel offers comfy rooms with lovely views of the pool and sea, each featuring a large balcony. My stay was in room 258 on the ground floor, and it was very clean, providing a peaceful ambiance at night and a beautiful sunrise view in the morning. The service was top-notch throughout our visit, and the send-off by the front of house staff was a lovely touch. The location was convenient, just a short bus trip to town, with plenty to explore nearby. The dining experience in the Magico buffet was delightful, offering a variety of dishes to enjoy. The facilities were excellent, catering to all our needs during the stay.
