“Lovely stay at this 4-star hotel – perfect location just a short walk from a small but popular beach. Rooms were spacious, clean, and modern, and I had a garden view which was lovely. Staff were friendly and helpful, and the pool area was great with sun loungers and cabanas by the pier. The on-site restaurant 'Mero' served delicious food and cocktails, and breakfast was excellent. Overall, great comfort and quality services.”
