We had an enjoyable stay at this resort, which offered a fantastic view and a comfortable atmosphere. The room was spacious and clean, allowing us to relax properly. The on-site restaurant was a highlight with its tasty dishes and beautiful views, though the overall property felt a bit dated. The location was convenient, with easy access to shops and the beach, making our experience even better.

I enjoyed my stay at the Marina resort-it was a pleasant experience overall. The room offered a stunning view and was spacious, making it comfortable for our short getaway. I appreciated how close we were to the village, which made it easy to explore on foot. However, the spa was out of service during our visit, and I found the fridge a bit underwhelming as it didn't cool properly. Despite these few downsides, I would definitely recommend this place for its value and ambiance.
