the location was great. my room had a lovely view of the ocean! the outdoor pool by the sea was wonderful. breakfast on the terrace was also lovely!!!
the sun loungers were reserved, but no one enforced the no-reservation policy. i also had an unpleasant situation with some aggressive guests and the guest services said they couldn't control guest behavior.

a nice and relaxing stay

convenient locationexcellent diningsea viewvaried breakfast
the location is convenient for exploring the town, and i discovered many excellent dining options nearby. i enjoyed the pool area and found plenty of spots on the terraces to relax and take in the sea views. each morning, i was eager for breakfast because the selection was varied and abundant. the hotel was super clean and the staff were always pleasant and helpful.
The gym equipment looked dated. Upgrades or servicing would significantly improve the fitness experience.

good locationcoffee optionpool bar
The location was acceptable. It was close to restaurants and shops.
I found the coffee option disappointing. It was self-serve from a machine, not what i expect. the pool bar near the atlantico pool was a disaster. only one person worked there. I had to wait 20 minutes in line for a drink (i felt sorry for the lady).
