The rooftop infinity pool offered great views. The gym had modern equipment and was very clean. The room included a fridge and a kettle, very useful.

The toilet door jammed making it difficult to open. The shower had poor drainage and water was on the floor. The clothing rack in the room was not properly secured to the wall.

The room had a bath and a separate shower. This was a nice addition. I had a great view of the sea from my room. The facilities felt modern, and the rooftop bar and pool had amazing ambience.

The lack of sun loungers on the rooftop was a minor inconvenience. It felt quite busy.
