Sometimes pictures are deceiving. Not here. This hotel is absolutely stunning. From the lobby, room, pool, the views. The staff was warm, welcoming and super and super helpful. This would be a great wedding, romantic getaway, honeymoon experience. Everything was top-notch.

The hotel itself is beautiful, large spacious rooms, however, over priced in terms of food in terms of quality. They also charge an additional €125 euros per extra bed per night and take a €100 euros on check in, if your not expecting that cost it will be a surprise on arriving. The location is great, accessible to some great beaches and staff are as accommodating as they can be. Probably wouldn’t select a Marriott group hotel in the future.

Only a year old 5 star hotel. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Location and place is neat, lovely and has its own flare of eclectic interior. Big disappointment and draw back especially for families with older children (13 & 12) is the hotel rule of not allowing children in the main swimming pool ( even if the depth of this adult pool is less than 5 feet ) and restricting them in the children pool ( actually a wading pool for young children). We stayed for 2 days and have been told 3x of this rule, while other families’ children were allowed to use the adult pool. It’s worth considering a 2nd attempt of vacation if this rule is remove, despite the very expensive cost.
