Friendly staff and beautiful location
Amazingly friendly staff, and really pictoresque resort, but the rooms are a bit outdated and the food wasn't the best.

Tired place with good, relaxed atmosphere
This must have been a great hotel when it was new, decades ago. The staff are great. The rooms are tired, but clean. The overall atmosphere is good, and the pool area is nice. The breakfast was very mediocre (stale pastries, coagulated milk for coffee), but lunch was fine. The outdoor area in the restaurant was dirty and there were a lot of flies pestering clients. It’s a good location close to the airport.
