This hotel definitely has potential, but there are some drawbacks. The location is stunning, with great views and easy access to the beach and Jelsa town. However, the service and dining left much to be desired. If you're on a budget, it's a decent option, but managing expectations is key as it's quite basic inside.

My stay at this hotel was quite a mixed bag. On one hand, the location was stunning, and I enjoyed the beautiful views. However, the room was outdated and not well-kept, which was quite disappointing. The service was decent, though not exceptional, and I appreciated having meals included, even if the food wasn't fantastic. If you're on a tight budget, this might be a decent option, but don't expect luxury.

Our vacation at this resort was simply amazing! The animation team, especially Andrea and Matea, truly made our children's experience unforgettable. The hotel offered excellent value with clean rooms and friendly staff. While the food variety was impressive, it's worth noting that there could be room for improvement. The location couldn't be better, with easy access to a stunning beach, making it a perfect family getaway.

Our stay at the resort had its ups and downs. The accommodation was decent, particularly in terms of cleanliness, but the dining was a challenge, especially for picky eaters like me. The children's mini club staff made a lasting impression, showing great enthusiasm for entertaining kids. Unfortunately, the overall experience was marred by some outdated features and limited options, making it less appealing for a return visit.
