We had a lovely experience at this hotel, with immaculate cleanliness and a fantastic pool area that always had available sunbeds. The staff's friendliness and attentiveness were remarkable, turning our stay into a relaxing getaway. However, the dining options could use more variety, especially for lunch and dinner. The location is convenient for quick access to Malia's nightlife but could be a bit noisy due to its proximity to the main strip.
