My experience at the hotel was fantastic, with engaging staff and a plethora of activities that kept my family entertained throughout our stay. The room was spacious, offering a partial sea view, while the diverse food options were truly delicious. However, I found the evening entertainment to vary in quality, and some poolside dining options could use a bit more variety. Overall, it was an excellent choice for a family vacation.
