Reviews
One of the days during our stay was rainy, so we decided to use the spa or gym, which the hotel claims to have, but neither of them actually existed.
We would never visit again!!!
However, there is a downside, which is the beach crew. They will try to rip you off and make you pay for the towel (10€) even though we were guests at the hotel.
This lead to unpleasant conversations and nearly arguing in front of other beach goers., which was completely unnecessary.
Still, I give it five starts because overall had a great stay. Thank you team Amara!
