I had an amazing time at this family-friendly resort! The sea views were stunning, and the variety of activities for kids was impressive, from water slides to nature trails. However, while the amenities were great, the dining experience left much to be desired, and there were a few maintenance issues that dampened my stay.

I had a decent stay at the resort, which is great for families, especially with the kids club and proximity to the beach. The room we were in felt a bit worn down and could use some maintenance, but it was spacious and had everything we needed for a self-catering holiday. While the facilities for kids are good, the staff left something to be desired in terms of friendliness. Overall, the place has a lot of potential but needs improvement in management and cleanliness.

The resort has great facilities for children, including a variety of pools and organized activities, but the kids club needs more facilitators and fresh ideas to make it truly enjoyable.

My stay at this resort had its ups and downs. On the one hand, the location is quite lovely, right by the beach, with plenty of activities for kids, which was perfect for my family. However, the service was severely lacking, especially during a serious situation I encountered. While the amenities were fun for the children, it was disheartening to face the staff's indifference to our issues during our stay.

I had a mixed experience at the resort. On one hand, the beautiful surroundings and spacious grounds made for a pleasant stay, and the sea views from the apartment were stunning. However, the facilities felt dated, and some aspects like the restaurant service and cleanliness left much to be desired. Overall, it provided decent value for a family getaway, but improvements are needed in several areas.

However, the room was quite dated and showed signs of neglect, which was disappointing. While the staff were nice and did their best, the overall experience was not what I expected for a holiday resort.
