I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, which boasted large and clean rooms with lovely balconies offering beautiful sea views. The location is truly outstanding, right by the stunning clear waters, perfect for scuba diving. However, the dining experience left much to be desired with limited quality options. The staff was friendly and welcoming, making my stay more enjoyable, but the outdated TV channels could use some improvement.
