My stay at this hotel was truly a wonderful experience. The warm welcome with a detox drink and cookies set a lovely tone for my relaxing getaway. The ambiance was both peaceful and luxurious, making every moment enjoyable. The only downside was the golf area still being under construction, but that didn't overshadow the overall fantastic amenities. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a tranquil vacation that feels like a slice of paradise.

Our stay at the resort was absolutely fantastic! The spacious apartment we booked had a stunning view and was fully equipped, perfect for our family vacation. The pools were delightful, and being so close to kitesurfing centers was a huge plus. However, service could use some improvement, as a few staff members were a bit rude at times. Overall, it was a wonderful experience that we plan to repeat soon.

I had a fantastic week at the hotel! The peaceful atmosphere, with only a few guests, made for a relaxing stay. I loved my room's proximity to the relaxation pool, and the dining experience was a delightful mix of buffet and fresh cooking. The staff were friendly and the facilities were excellent, especially the number of pools on offer. However, it would be great if there were a bit more variety in the dining options, particularly during peak meal times.
