Fabulous hotel - all areas spotless Great restaurants and bars. Had access to the executive lounge which was lovely for pre dinner drinks - afternoon tea wasn’t much choice but breakfast and evenings was lovely. Plenty of sunbeds around the pool and on the beach Boat tour around the marina was amazing ...
