Brooklyn, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The beautiful outdoor area for our breakfast, the nearby swimming pools and easy access to the long stretch of beach stood out at this excellent hotel. The prices for the restaurant meals were a bit steep in my opinion and the hotel could better promote the experiences it has on offer. The room, service and facilities were all excellent in my experience.

Fritz Rolf, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Felt very clean and upmarket, staff were friendly, and the room was luxurious and spacious. Be mindful, though, that extras can get quite expensive - the spa (100€+), renting a bed at the beach (50-80€), food (60-80€+ for 2), etc.

Amazing amenities. Went there for my honeymoon and was gifted flowers, champagne and a chocolate and macaroon tray. My only issue was the beach chairs were not included in our stay and was an additional charge

Anastasia, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing location

I have not been enjoying everything from the resort, it huge and with a lot of things to do. You can go hiking, there are different pools, and pretty much a private beach just for yourself. Amazing environment! I think one of the best resorts that I have been to so far. They will give you a flower and carry your bag to the room. The resort deserves their 5 stars. One thing that I did not expect it how expensive the things could be there, all the restaurants are perfect, but really expensive. You can not have a normal meal with a normal amount of money, which is totally understandable. However, it was perfect from the beginning to the end. ❤️
Mayara, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The service within the hotel was excellent. So polite and helpful. Breakfast buffet was very good as was the hotel gym. We did have issues with the electricity/tv in our particular room which we had to get assistance. Only issue was the smoking of the guests- they smoked everywhere- especially in the pool area which we didn’t appreciate at all.
