The room was spacious. It had a separate lounge and kitchenette (though I did not use them). The hotel was generally clean.
The evening entertainment disappointed me. I saw only a few professional singing acts and one performed outside due to football being on in the bar. I was served alcohol in paper cups at the bar, not typical for a 4-star hotel.

i found the staff friendly and accommodating. the cleaning service was daily and efficient, ensuring a tidy room. i particularly enjoyed the breakfast buffet, it offered a wide range of fresh options. there was a well kept pool with plenty of sunbeds (i spent a relaxing afternoon there!).
i found the all-inclusive drinks served in small plastic cups (it felt a bit wasteful).
