We loved this resort! We had a Junior Suite garden view and it was beautifully decorated and situated. Spacious and very comfy beds. The reception team were wonderful, especially Andrea for giving us the welcome tour. The resort is beautiful, gardens well maintained, lovely spa and a spacious gym. Pools were lovely as well. Unfortunately one waiter was a bit grumpy on the first night, but everything else was perfect. Highly recommend!!
