Reviewer Type: Family With Children

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: The room was exquisite. Balcony on 2 sides with pool and sea views. Staff were fantastic. Food was great. Everyone genuinely friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend.

Negative: 2 things. On step from hotel to pool is just one small step before 5 or 6 other steps. I tripped on this because you cannot see it very well sit is all the same colour. A strip of white would help you to see it better especially at night. After these steps from there to restaurants there is lighting but not enough at night. Also as I had a sore knee and I was li.ping it would be nice to have hand rails at all of the steps on the property outside.
