Our flight arrived very early in the morning, so we were already at the hotel at 6 o'clock in the morning. Initially they told us that we would have the room ready around 7 o'clock and that we could stay at the pool until then. They came back in about 10-15 minutes and informed us that they would give us another room with an ocean view, so we got a free room upgrade. The very nice room, on the first floor, with a huge balcony on which there were 2 armchairs and a bed, the view of the harbor is extraordinarily beautiful. Too bad I only stayed there one night.

Staying in Freddie Mercury’s childhood home was special. It is a really beautiful apartment and on top of that you get use of the facilities at the hotel. I only had one night but it will definitely stay in the memory bank!!!

We had an exceptionally good time at the resort. Super friendly staff, impeccable restaurant service, tasty food, complimentary breakfast full of options and most importantly, a breathtaking ocean view. This resort has it all. Firstly, The staff is super friendly. Like, really really friendly and responsive. You will feel right at home the moment you set food in the lobby. Everyone makes sure your every need is attended to. Secondly, The restaurant. The food is really good, I certainly liked the menu. You can give instructions to the chef down to the spice that should be used to cook your dish. Perfection. Additionally, The rooms are truly wonderful. Where do I even begin? Spacious and modern with an ocean view. You've got walls adorned with beautiful patterns made of fine wood, beautiful paintings, comfy sofas. What's not to love here? Not to mention Wi-Fi, which was fast enough to stream 4K movies on Netflix without a hitch. Overall, this resort met our expectations down to the T. I would book this resort again in a heartbeat :)
