I had a lovely time at the resort. The views were simply breathtaking, and my room was spacious and modern, making my stay quite enjoyable. However, getting to the resort was a bit challenging due to the steep hill, and I found the dining options somewhat limited. Overall, it felt like a good value for the experience, but there’s room for improvement.

I had a great time at this hotel, especially enjoying the cleanliness and comfort of the rooms. The staff was welcoming and made my stay pleasant. I loved the location, as it was just a short walk to the beach and some fantastic restaurants. However, the dining options could use some improvement, especially at breakfast. Overall, it was good value for money, though the Wi-Fi fee was a bit of a letdown.

This resort is in a lovely location, just steps away from a gorgeous beach that offers stunning views. The rooms are spacious and clean, providing a comfortable retreat after a long day in the sun. The dining options were quite enjoyable, especially the barbecue nights, but I found the breakfast to be a little lacking in variety. Overall, it's good value for money, although the Wi-Fi fees were an unexpected annoyance.

I had a wonderful stay at the resort, situated on a unique little island right off the beach. The atmosphere was serene, and the amenities made my time so enjoyable. While the dining at Francesca's Italian restaurant was phenomenal, I did find the breakfast options at the resort a bit limited. Overall, it was excellent value for money considering the incredible views and comfortable surroundings.

I had a lovely stay at the resort, which really made for a fun getaway on this little island. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and I enjoyed the beautiful views while relaxing by the pool. While the dining options were decent, I wished for a wider variety during breakfast. Overall, the value for money was quite good, but the beach access required a bit of a walk, which might not be for everyone.
