pavlo, Dec 2025

1. The food is delicious. 2. We were staying as three people with our 18-year-old adult daughter. We were given a double room with two separate beds (most likely a twin room), which was not really suitable for three adults. As a result, it was quite uncomfortable, and this is something to be careful about when booking. 3. The beds were not very comfortable, and we experienced back pain during our stay. 4. Some waiters are a bit pushy when it comes to tips. 5. The TV system is not easy to use. We wanted to watch YouTube and other apps, but it seems the TVs are adapted only for Android. So if you have Apple devices, forget about it. 6. The location is excellent. 7. The beach and the sea are amazing — very clean and beautiful. 8. The entertainment program felt a bit limited. We would have liked to see more shows and evening activities. 9. Is it worth the money? Yes, it is. ⸻
