We booked the hotel based on the pictures of the beach on their website. The beach doesn't look like that in reality at all. After travelling around the island this was one of the least impressing beaches of all, and if we knew that we wouldn't have chose this hotel.
The room was nice, the bed was comfy. The hotel grounds are nice and the pool is also a decent size. However there is limited sunbeds around the pool, and by the time we went to have breakfast all of them was reserved with towels, even though most of them wouldn't be occupied for most of the day.
The restaurant service is not great. We booked full board, but we ended up not having lunch there as it was quite underwhelming. You have to pick your choice of dinner at breakfast, and dinner only starts at 8pm which was quite late for us.
The gym is really poor, there is some old machines, no free weights at all, it is located in the basement.
There is not much going on around the hotel, therefore I think it is good for older people but not for younger couples.
