Very poor beach
Although the hotel facilities are great, the beach is not very scenic or pleasant for a stroll. It is reportedly full of rocks and seaweed and it is far more preferable to enjoy the pleasant weather and sea views sitting by the hotel pool. Seaweed is a big problem in general for beaches in this part of the world and the hotel staff clean the beach of seaweed regularly. .

Dress code for breakfast
The hotel has a dress code for the restaurant - a t-shirt to cover the shoulders and closed shoes. Some of the guests find the code a bit restricting and prefer to eat breakfast in their room instead. .
negative:
Erratic Wi-Fi
There is free Wi-Fi in the rooms and in the public area and the Wi-Fi signal is sometimes very good, with very few complaints reported. However, at other times, unfortunately, the Wi-Fi signal can jump around, sometimes fine in the rooms, sometimes in the pool area, but not everywhere at the same time. .
