good varietythin wallssoundproofing lack

the food had a good variety, and i found something acceptable to eat each day.

i found the lack of soundproofing disappointing. i could clearly hear conversations and noise from adjacent rooms and the hallway and it was distracting. the walls seemed thin, and this impacted my ability to relax and sleep soundly in my room.

i really liked the friendly staff and their attentive service by the pool. the activities each day kept us engaged and entertained, this was a great addition. the entire experience was seamless and added value to our holiday.

the balcony furniture felt quite flimsy and basic. i feel there could be improvements with sun loungers to really enjoy the space.

The staff were friendly. The food at the buffet offered a good selection. The room featured two balconies facing the sea, a romantic setting. A jacuzzi completed the perfect picture.

The evening entertainment felt poor, the seating area was not large enough. There were extra charges for popcorn and ice cream at the pool bars. The beach is at a distance. Daily trips require a car, not ideal.
