This hotel was amazing. The reception staff made the check-in process smooth and efficient, and they even brought our luggage to our room. Initially, our room wasn't ready, but by the time we ordered a drink, it was available, and we received an email notifying us. The room was a great size, clean, and comfortable. I moved the glass table, as I kept hitting my leg on it, but that was not a problem. The walk-in shower was fantastic, and the water pressure and temperature were perfect. The cleaning staff work really efficiently. j Just on our 2nd to last day, we only had our beds made, but my pj's went missing, and no one could find them. Which upset me as they were a gift. Also, no laundry was done this day as we were leaving the next day. The staff just said were they white, which they were, and said ahh thats why. But still, my pj's had pink on them too, They said they rang housekeeping, but they were never found. Taking cheap black pj's next time. There were plenty of sun loungers to choose from and quiet areas if you preferred. All the pools feature a self-service drink area with tea and coffee, cold fizzy drinks, and beer. There is also another bar that serves alcohol, along with a swim-up bar. Towels are available daily, and you can change them as many times as you like, so there’s no need to pack your own. The restaurant was busy unless you arrived very early, right when it opened. As someone who is gluten and dairy-free, I found the gluten-free options to be quite good. I had the choice of gluten-free pasta, but to be honest, I enjoyed the meat and the amazing salad bar even more. My only disappointment was the lack of dessert options; there were only fruits available during my two-week stay. Next time, I’ll bring my own snacks. I had to watch my husband enjoy his dessert, and a nice sorbet would have been perfect, but they had no supplies (I did speak with the staff about this). My husband did walk to a local supermarket about 25 minutes away and found some Alpro yoghurt for me, which I appreciated. It would have been nice to have had some sort of option for dietary needs. Regardless, we will be back because we absolutely loved it. The beach (I felt like Rocky at the end of the holiday running up those 80 stairs, not for the weak!) and sea were amazing, and the people were very friendly. There were plenty of activities available. Thank you.
