Fantastic Family Time!

food choicepeaceful viewgood depth
The food selection was amazing every night with many healthy choices. My sea view room offered peacefulness. The kids pool had a good depth with adequate shade, so my toddler enjoyed it. Highchairs were always spotlessly clean.
The hotel's child park could benefit from additional equipment.
Location
9/10
The hotel is near a local supermarket called Hyperdino which sells necessary items. It is approximately a 5-10 minute walk away. The hotel provided lovely views, and paying for a sea view was worth it. It is only a few euros to the marina or a nice 20-minute walk.
Service
10/10
Friendly staff provided a fantastic atmosphere, and nothing seemed too much bother. The animation team encouraged involvement in all the activities. The cleaning team always greeted guests with a smile and a good morning. Free towel hire was provided upon check-in.
Facilities

The hotel offers three pools. One is an adults-only area. There is something different every night for entertainment. This included evening performers of a good standard. There are also activities like crazy golf, and pool tables.
Rooms

The rooms are kept very clean. We received a room with a sea view. The room had comfortable beds, and the showers were good. The hotel provided a large fridge to our room for insulin.
