The reviews are all right! They are the kindest staff members I've ever been in contact with. Everything was super accommodating. From extra pillows, turn down service etc.. Dining on premises, taxis and other add-ons could get quite pricey.

Nice property, clean and quiet.. we had a relaxing time . Staff are all very nice and helpful. Room furniture’s are somewhat outdated but otherwise clean and spacious. I like the fact that our room was check and cleaned twice a day. Beach area is private and really nice and calm waters except from our last 2 days that seaweeds invaded the shore and somewhat smelly.. I cannot recommend the Italian restaurant on the resort! I have it a 3/5 rating as the food is not really good. The beach bar/resto is better to spend the day. Main resto by the beach is ok also same as their menu but breakfast is not that great. I didnt expect that kind of breakfast selections and set up on a nice resort and on the price we paid. Fruits are covered with a metal lid that has hole in the middle but majority of poeple taking that lid off are touching the fruits when they’re trying to open that lid. These fruits could have been served in a better way. We ended up taking their taxi service to eat out in town x3 because there is more choices but taxi service are not cheap. I would rate this resort 3.8 out 5 and probably would not recommend at this time to our friends but was told also that they are having major renovations this year for 2 months so we’ll see after that.

The bay is beautiful and hotel just over half an hour from the airport which is extremely convenient. The kids club is fantastic and gym facilities and pool are very good. At this price point I’d expect more from the rooms and restaurants. We’ve had construction work right above our suite which included tile cutting and ultimately brought our bathroom ceiling down. There was no other room or solution offered. We’ve received a complimentary bottle of Prosecco and apology.

Overall nice hotel with wonderful staff and amazing food. When you take a closer look the rooms are a little tired with sheets and towels on the hard side for a 5* resort. They also have an insect problem. You may find something scary in your room like a cockroach or a swam flies blocking the entry to your room which really lets it down.
