3.5 / 5.0
A very nice resort, but a bit away from everything. One definitely need a car to reach it and to go around. So it is ideal it you are looking for a quiet stay and plan to spend most of the time in the resort itself.
The food in a resort restaurant is OK, but not as good as you can get for that money in the most of restaurant nearby…

Good breakfast
The rooms are quite worn and in need of refurbishment. The prices in the restaurant are extremely high, the portions are small. There is practically no beach, it is tiny and littered with algae, it is impossible to swim. Also, there are just clouds of flies on the beach, it is impossible to sunbathe. The SPA area is small, the employee is constantly absent. The pool is dangerous - the child fell and broke his head, I had to go to the hospital and sew up. The hotel management did not even react to this.

The room, facilities really great.
The food( dinner ) wasn t so great.
4.0 / 5.0
The staff was fantastic, every single person we interacted with or saw from a distance either waved or said hello. Everyone spoke at least 1 additional language and was very professional as well as friendly.
The rooms are quite outdated as far as the decor and some things like the bath glass divider doesn't really help or work. There was a colony of ants running through the kitchen. Also the indoor pool is 15euro per day per person...the coffee pods are an extra charge too... very strange. The restaurant is way overpriced as well.

The staff could not have been any better!
The only let down for the entire stay was the breakfast. Beautiful fruits and breads ans mushrooms and tomatoes but the eggs were always cold even when they were brought out fresh.
5.0 / 5.0
Perfect location right by the coast, very clean room and great views. The breakfast is wonderful. The only drawback is that it is a bit difficult to get to, have to drive through narrow one lane road.

4.5 / 5.0
Beautiful location overlooking the sea with only a 3min walk to an amazing beach. Rooms were very comfortable, cool and well kept. Would highly recommend!
Closest shop/alternative restaurant was 15mins by Uber or 45min walk along cliffs - though there was a lovely restaurant on site, and breakfast in particular was great!
4.5 / 5.0
View from pool to ocean is amazing. Breakfast is quite good.
Everything was awesome just that our room air conditioner was not functioning well. Even with low of 15Deg C it was quite hot in there

I loved the staff! The man in that checked me made sure I knew about everything that was available and showed me how to access the beaches. Neto from the spa area and the restaurant staff were so kind and easy to talk to.
The rooms were phenomenal, more than what I expected from the pictures. The views from the resort of the sunrise and sunset are beyond amazing.
N/A, everything was great!

1.0 / 5.0
the location , the salt pool - proximity to beach
mould smelling rooms, strong chemical cleaning smell to disguise the mould/musty smell. dated apartments that in my opinion are not worthy of a 5star Resort. Resort staff & manager were completely unhelpful nor understanding In regards to the health implications of exposure to mould. In my opinion this resort should NOT be 5 stars! extremely rude manager/owner.
5.0 / 5.0
Everything about this property is amazing! The breath taking view & the sound of the ocean. The staff definitely made the stay even better. Everyone we met was friendly, helpful and made you feel like their only guest. The suite itself was perfect with everything you could need. Food & Drink in the resort were served with a smile and tasted delicious. The breakfast was definitely my favourite. Many pools to choose from but the infinity one was my personal favourite. We would definitely recommend & will return.
