We had a mixed experience at the resort. The location is excellent, offering a lot of charm from years of visits. However, our chalet had cleanliness issues and was very cramped with neighbors. While some of the facilities were enjoyable, the overall state of the accommodation left us disappointed considering the price we paid.

During our stay, we encountered some challenges that affected our overall experience. While the location is great for families and there are some decent facilities, we faced noise issues that made it quite difficult to relax. The cleanliness and comfort of the rooms fell short of expectations, and although there were some decent aspects, improvements are definitely needed to enhance the quality of stay.

The rooms were not very clean and had old furniture, including a sofa and mat that had unpleasant odors. The absence of a fan made it extremely hot, especially for my kids who couldn't sleep in their room at all and ended up in the lounge.

The facilities could use some attention; they were basic yet functional. The activity areas, including the tennis and volleyball courts, need repairs to be more enjoyable.

I recently stayed at this resort and while it has some positives like being extremely clean and having a helpful staff, I was disappointed with the overall experience. The parking situation caused a bit of hassle, especially for older guests, and the rooms could use some love as they felt dated. Still, despite the shortcomings, I would consider returning due to the cleanliness and friendly service.

The rooms were clean, but somewhat dated and could use renovations. There were issues like two single beds instead of a double, and some furniture felt old.

I was really disappointed with my stay at the chalet, which felt more like a 2-star accommodation despite the high price. The cleanliness left much to be desired, with dirty bathrooms and an unpleasant odor around the area. On a positive note, the swimming pool was clean, and the campsite facilities were impressive. Overall, it was not worth what I paid.

My stay at this resort was less than stellar. While the rooms were spacious and provided a decent view of the sea, the overall maintenance and condition of the resort left much to be desired. The location was not ideal due to loud noise from nearby vehicles, which made it hard to enjoy the lovely view. The amenities were lacking too, making it hard to find entertainment or comfortable areas to relax. I can't say I will be returning anytime soon.
