Five diamomd star property, service and food, but unfortunately its beach is not fit for swimming due to sharp rocks, seaweed, and dirt. The hotel is cleaning the beach constantly but there is almost 0 swimmers in the beach. Very unfortunate as the hotel, staff and food trully meet exclusive 5 diamond star expectations.
