attentive staff adult pool local fauna late check-in buggy absence unavailable towel
I just loved this resort! the staff was so attentive to every detail. i especially appreciated the access to two pools, one for families and another just for adults. the greenery was just gorgeous, and i even spotted some local fauna. It was a total treat!
Check-in was a total drag. It took over an hour! i booked one room category but got stuck with something less excellent. beach towels and pool towels seemed like a luxury item. They were always out. also, i had to walk a lot because the buggies were never around, even with my little one, it was so annoying!

During my visit, the vast, verdant grounds were excellent. Morning walks by the sea were invigorating thanks to the fresh breeze. I found the staff consistently polite. I especially commend the attentiveness of the housekeeping team, who ensured my villa remained immaculate throughout my four-night stay.
