The Hotel was easy to find. As long as you had your own transport, you could get around easily. Our room was basic, although a luxury double room with balcony it only had one armchair. Bathroom was clean, shower very good. Pool and Spa were nice. Downside was for dining & Bar, it was a short walk to the restaurant, about 100yds.It got very busy in the evening with locals and very noisy.
