"Our stay was okay. The hotel room wasn’t bad, the sink was just dirty at the base. They set up a sofa bed even though we had an infant and needed to set up our playpen. But we could have asked them to take it down after check in. The breakfast wasn’t bad, they had a lot of food. Just busy and expensive. We liked the resort itself and the cafe on the beach. Our biggest complaint is the misinformation on the Expedia website. It says there are 4 pools, 1 outdoor pool, and 1 whirlpool. We assumed these were free because it didn’t say anything was extra. However, it was 27€ per person for one day. We opted not to pay that and use the beach instead. They need to clarify this on their Expedia."
