I would definitely recommend this hotel!! The pool area is beautiful, the staff are friendly and the resort around the area has loads of lovely restaurants, bars and shops!! The room had lots of space with a stunning view of the pool and sea from the balcony! The breakfast was nice as well as the many drinks on the menu by the pool! The hotels about a 20 minute walk to the sea front however with which steep hills coming back up and to get to the hotel there are quite a number of steps down so just be aware of that! Overall I would definitely come back here!!
