We booked a junior suite which was very comfortable and attractively designed with two large balconies facing different but attractive sea views. The staff were all very helpful and polite and the pools, sun bathing areas and beach were all kept in excellent condition. The hotel is a... More

We went with no idea what to expect; we just wanted sun and heat after such a lousy summer. We were absolutely bowled over. This hotel has a lovely location, well kept gardens, spotlessly clean large rooms with good sized private balconies, excellent food and friendly helpful staff.
