The location was great for us. We were there with multiple families and everyone had their own unit so we took advantage of the numerous community facilities, pool, upper deck patios, volleyball, and tennis.

The apartment was very spacious with large kitchen room and living/dining room. The bedrooms were great as well. We didn’t get to enjoy the balconies because the weather wasn’t so great but I bet they would be nice to enjoy on a nice day.

The villas are nice and well-clean. As vegetarians, we very much value having a kitchen, and it was very well-equipped. The hotel was calm, green, and close to beautiful beaches (10-minute walk). Free access to e-bikes, tennis, and padel courts...
