Summary: Excellent property with superb views. The staff are extremely helpful too. The beach unfortunately is covered with sea weeds and you hardly see the sand and not ideal to walk or lie on the sun lounger. Not much choice on the menu for vegetarians either.

Summary: Overall nice place. Pools can be bigger. Ocean is very close but there are no sunbeds or bars on the beach, so it is harder to hangout near the ocean. Everything is clean but ants can be a problem. We had to take our clothes out of the closet because of the large numbers of ants. Some individual ants can make it into the bed as well. Also need to be careful about leaving your food and drinks on the side tables near the pool because they attract many ants too.
