“In my opinion, this resort excels with its prime beachfront location, offering direct access to Varca beach, and boasts an impressive 83-foot high atrium lobby; it's a standout feature. The combination of family-friendly activities, a 9-hole golf course, and diverse dining options makes it a compelling destination; I find the wellness offerings particularly appealing. A solid choice for a multifaceted vacation.”

I found the expansive hotel to be a delight. It gave direct access to the beach. The staff was very hospitable. I found my overall experience nice.
The room I had, room no. 146, suffered condensation. Every part of the room felt moist and uncomfortable. A musty smell filled the room . The mattress was squeaky and woke me up.
