varied dishesoutdoor yogaserene location
I found the breakfast buffet great. it included different dishes prepared daily and many options. yoga classes were offered each morning outdoors, i enjoyed this. the location felt serene and quiet. It had loads of space to sit and relax near the pool.
the spa and other treatment facilities were expensive. if you're going for fitness, it's not as great as it looks.

acceptable stay
heavenly poolavailable sun loungersgood englishexpensive pricedangerous stepsnothing to hold
i like the views. the pool was just heavenly and there were always sun loungers available. all staff encountered were lovely, smiley and spoke good english which was handy.
the food and beverage prices were too expensive. the beach sand and water must be better attended to. too many steep steps felt dangerous. many areas dont have anything to hold onto.
I received an upgrade to a large room and enjoyed a welcome drink. The hotel arranged a taxi to and from the airport which was helpful. I found the food to be excellent and staff were attentive. I liked the wellness activities especially yoga and sound baths.
The gym is basic and outside. It doesn't match the quality of other facilities.
