The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Buffets

The dining experience was one of my favorite aspects of the stay. The buffet offered a fresh and varied selection with a nice variety of fruit at almost every meal. I particularly enjoyed the availability of fish regularly, making meals exciting and healthy. Can't forget to mention the well-prepared drinks that added to the experience, especially during lunch and dinner.

Gallant Relaxation

I had the opportunity to visit the spa for a massage and it was truly really good. It was, without a doubt, the best massage I have ever experienced. The ambiance of the spa added to the overall relaxation and made it a highlight of my stay.

Refreshing Pool Area

The pool area was refreshing and a fantastic spot to unwind after a day at the beach. The fact that the pool had sea water made it unique, and it was a perfect alternative to the ocean. It was also conveniently located right outside the dining area, making it easy to hop back and forth.
