I had an incredible stay at the hotel, which is beautifully situated on the beach with a lovely atmosphere. The staff treated us like family, and the gardens were immaculate. While the dining options were plentiful, there were moments when the buffet could've offered more variety. Overall, it was a fantastic experience with some minor areas for improvement.

I had a mostly positive experience at the hotel, with beautiful garden-like surroundings and an inviting pool area. The staff was genuinely warm and helpful, making me feel welcome. However, I did encounter issues with the all-inclusive dining package and faced some discomfort with the room's condition. Additionally, I would strongly advise against using the hotel's official tourist guides due to negative experiences shared by others.
