"A great hotel - a resort - the best of nearby hotels. We liked everything. Very beautiful and very well-looked area of the hotel, responsiveness of staff, delicious food on the system all included and good condition of the room with sea view makes us return to this hotel again. From the shortcomings of the equipment of the gym it is necessary to update to more modern, as well as to fix the steam sauna."
