10/10 Excellent
"Luxirios and super clean property. Staff very helpful and pleasant. Highly recommend the sea view room. Breakfast has lots of varieties mainly local food.. Cold cuts and cheese not good at all. Omlette station very bad. Never thought that a simple omlette can be made that bad. Overall food and beverage can improve since this is is not Crowne Plaza standard."
