spacious layout direct beach access convenient location
The room faced the sea. I appreciated the spacious layout and the clear views from the balcony. The hotel provided direct access to the beach, a feature i found especially convenient. There was a bus stop directly outside for easy trips.

excellent experience near the airport

convenient location breakfast options nearby promenade
I appreciated the convenient location near the airport (it was only a short taxi ride away). the breakfast offered many options and was of very good quality. i also enjoyed the nearby promenade. It was perfect for walking and running. (i am a big fan of running.)
i noticed that the pool hours were limited, specifically from 11 am to 7 pm, reducing the time available to freely enjoy the outdoor pool.
