Fantastic stay! The service is professional and polished. They respected my status and upgraded us to a stunning new villa. Everything was clean, the gym is great, and the breakfast was very high quality. Manager Jason was particularly impressive—very professional and helpful. The only downside is the sea; if you are a beach lover, the water/sand here isn't the best. But as a hotel, it is excellent. 4/5 stars
