The breakfast was delicious with a huge variety of options. i really liked the fresh fruit selection. i also found the staff quite helpful. They gave clear directions. the building itself is beautiful and the light dinning areas had amazing sea views!
The jacuzzi was unfortunately out of order throughout my stay and that was a letdown! i had asked about it, but it never reopened. the radiator system in my room was rather noisy. It woke me up frequently and the outdoor swimming pool was closed.
