I would really give the place a superb score. From the location, staff, Breakfast, the two swimming pools, everything was genuinely excellent.

I feel like there was not so much to chose from on the menu.

Venturini - 07/10/2026

The very nice room with a small terrace with personal sofa, air conditioning, mini fridge, kettle and private bathroom. The staff were very friendly, excellent massages and the restaurant, even though it had just reopened, I would say was good, including the morning breakfast with the option of cappuccino with soy milk even included. Very clean place and swimming pool always open. The guys who work there are really very friendly and kind.

In the room the window had an open space so you could hear the meetings outside a lot, including the call to prayer from the nearby mosque every morning from 4 onwards. Soundproofing can be improved. The wifi doesn't work well, in the room it doesn't work at all. I don't recommend the beach nearby, it was very dirty.
