helpful staff convenient parking private beach
I found the reception staff very helpful . parking was available, really convenient. i definitely valued the private beach and pool. It was great to have free sunbeds and umbrellas.
the hairdryer in the room was quite poor! i felt it needed an update, as it took a long time to dry my hair.

Great stay!
private section good choice
The hotel features its own private section of a great beach, complete with a bar. The rooftop restaurant offers wonderful views and a menu that changes nightly with a good choice of meals. I found the hotel to be very clean and the rooms comfortable. The breakfast buffet had more than enough choice.
I noticed the hotel could improve promotion of its onsite bar facilities. Sunbeds near the pool were uncomfortable. Showers were open air near the pool area and there were no private showers.
