Had an amazing stay at this hotel with our 6month old baby! Big thanks to the friendly staff members who made our stay even more enjoyable! Incredible food for a buffet - everything was very fresh. We went for the AI, which made it very easy to eat at any point of the day. The only thing that was slightly a shame was the stairs from the reception to the rooms and pool area. Luckily our strollers were lightweight and it wasn’t a problem to carry them up and down. Everywhere else was very accessible. Also the beach area had wooden path which was nice for the strollers. Sunbeds by the beach were also included in the AI, otherwise 10€/per day. The hotel area was always clean as well as the hotel room. Sea front view is definetely worth paying extra as the sun rises were very beautiful. Overall, a very good choice for a relaxing stay!
