I had a wonderful time at this hotel! The rooms were super comfortable with a balcony and garden view, and the suite even had both a bath and a large shower. The service was top-notch, especially Fabio at the Terrace Grill and Andre at the front desk. The location, nestled between the cliffs, was perfect for a romantic vacation, and the pools and private beach were beautiful. The dining was delicious, although a few wasps did bother us. The facilities were fantastic, making my stay truly enjoyable.

Our stay at the resort was simply incredible. The rooms were huge, fancy, and incredibly comfortable, although we wished for a bit more separation for our daughter. The location, at the highest position of the resort, offered breathtaking 270-degree views, including stunning sea views from the room and balcony. The beautiful garden views added to the overall charm of the stay.

The dining experience was quite average, with nothing outstanding. While the food was plentiful and varied, it failed to deliver that extra something special. The lack of unique local flavors was noticeable in the breakfast offerings.

My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms, while nice enough, could use some updates, especially with the floor covering. The service, on the other hand, was exceptional, with a surprise champagne welcome and a customer service-oriented approach. The location was excellent, offering easy access to various attractions. The dining experience, although tasty, lacked a bit of variety. The facilities were sufficient but nothing extraordinary.

I stayed at a resort nestled on a steep cliff edge, offering breathtaking sea views and three pool areas. The rooms were spacious with large bathrooms, but lacked natural light. The service was exceptional, attentive, and accommodating. The location was stunning, though a bit crowded at times. The dining choices were varied, and the facilities were well-maintained and plentiful.
