Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The resort is not owning any private beach but cooperating with very close walking distance lodge for free sunbeds. This aspect, linked to a very poor service, tidiness and customer care, makes Arya absolutely over expensive and over promising in his presentation.
Die Zimmer waren toll ausgestattet und sehr sauber. Das Personal war hilfsbereit und freundlich. Das angeschlossene Restaurant hatte sehr gutes Essen und der Strand ist traumhaft
