Its a short walk to the beach from the hotel and there is a private area of beach for hotel guests with umbrellas and chairs. The pool area at the hotel is also quiet, clean and well maintained. Great food options. The concierge will arrange transportation to the city or the airport. I will stay there again on future visits.

Our stay at the hotel was simply excellent. From the very first moment, the staff treated us with great kindness and professionalism. The room was comfortable, modern, and had a spectacular view perfect for relaxing. The buffet breakfast was varied, fresh, and beautifully presented.
