Would recommend, the scenery is beautiful, staff go out of your way to help you. Food was wonderful"
"Reception staff really friendly. Room and bathroom was clean. Property could do with a bit of maintenance in places though. Also no safe available in room. Not many sunbeds around the pool.
Samman provided us with 2 great tours. He was excellent and went above and beyond. "
"A beautiful Resort, wished we stayed longer to enjoy more of it. The only downside for us was the bar. If you’re offering cocktails, you need staff that know what they are doing. The staff behind the bar had no idea."
