Reviews
Good fresh food, nice and always clean rooms, beautiful gardens, large playground, slides and swimming pools and beautiful clean beach nearby! There are also interesting reefs and colorful fish very close to the shore. The staff is friendly and very helpful. There's also an animator who does a wonderful job of keeping the children entertained in the playroom (thank you Nada!). You can find here also a lot od interesting activities for adults and children, including discos and fakir show. There are no problems with anything. It's really a great place!
