We had a lovely stay at this resort, enjoying the peaceful vibe and fantastic weather. The bungalows are quaint and comfortable, but the beds could use some improvement for a better night's sleep. The pool area is great, but the dining experience could be more varied. On the downside, be prepared for some unexpected fees upon arrival and departure, which can be surprising. Overall, it was a relaxing holiday with some minor issues.

I had a fantastic holiday at this charming resort with beautiful gardens and comfortable bungalows. The animation team was lively and there were plenty of activities to keep us entertained. However, the food was somewhat limited in variety, and the Wi-Fi connection was quite poor. Overall, it was a great experience with some room for improvement.

The hotel offers a unique Italian experience in a stunning garden setting with spacious cottages, perfect for those looking for a more relaxed holiday. The food is superb, especially if you love Italian cuisine, but the amenities might feel dated to some. While the location is great for beach lovers, the hard beds were a downside for us. Overall, it’s a good spot if you've a taste for Italian flair but not ideal for everyone.

We had a wonderful stay at this resort, enjoying the vibrant atmosphere and exceptional food. The staff were always friendly, making us feel welcomed, but we did face some minor language barriers at times. The location was ideal, right on the beach and surrounded by beautiful greenery.

I recently stayed at this hotel and found it to have several strong points, such as the spacious pools and the beautiful beach location. The rooms, although clean, had some wear and tear and were quite basic. The dining options were varied and included some tasty dishes, but I wish there were more international choices. Overall, it's a solid pick for a relaxing getaway, but a few improvements could elevate the experience further.
