Although most guests report a positive experience, some have complained about the additional fees to use the tennis and squash courts.
Scene
This beach resort, with multiple pools, is popular with German tourists.
The map of the resort looks like a drawing of a village. You get an idea of how vast the facilities are from looking at an aerial depiction of the manicured gardens, with Greek sculptures by German artist Peter Muller, and numerous stylish pools for families and couples, including an Olympic pool for laps and a "village" pool with sea views. There are also three small kiddy pools, a Sebastian Kenipp foot pool, and a kids’ water playground pool. Indoors is a chic pool, with a pitched wooden ceiling and a hot tub near stained-glass windows.
A footpath cuts through the green grounds to a narrow sandy beach, with blue umbrellas, lounge chairs, showers and a changing room. Golf carts are available to help guests get around the property. Most of the guests are from Germany, and live entertainment is mostly in German.
