I loved the quality of the room and resort facilities. I also loved the free on-site parking. Best of all was the fact the resort is a 2 minute walk to the dog beach and not far from the main beach and shops.

Great hotel, great location if you want a bit of peace and quiet. Would have liked the restaurant to be open a bit later - 8pm for last orders is a bit early (but maybe that’s a European thing?)
