Nice resort with access to a beautiful beach. We weren't around long enough to make use of the resort facilities or restaurant. The surrounding gardens were beautiful. The staff were very pleasant and were able to assist with booking a vehicle to return to the airport.

Hi the Leila is dated but well maintained and clean. It is so comfortable and ours was spacious with a beautiful sea view and balcony with sunbeds table chair and parasol. Apartment is fully equipped with additional towels for the pool, cleaning materials salt and pepper. My 5 year old granddaughter loved kids club and the young ladies who run it are a delight. The restaurant has a full menu and dinner is delicious. It is a bit expensive and doesn't do breakfast. The staff are friendly and helpful. This is ideal for a family holiday. We had a lovely time.

Nice vacation

Great location on the beach front. Lots of choices of cafe, bars, restaurants. Safe area. Not crowded. Service was great. Nice people at the reception. But, the the resort is relatively outdated. Room was clean but the furniture was little old. In summary, we had great time.

The reception staff were friendly and accommodating as always. Staff across the resort are very friendly. Spotlessly clean and well equipped apartment. Lovely heated pool with plenty of sun beds. Have been coming to this resort for 37 years and it never disappoints. Will definitely return. Thanks to all the staff.

Exceptional place to stay for a relaxing beach stay. Very comfortable and well appointed apartment. Nice views of beach. Easy to drive to and parking. Friendly reception. Room was ready for early check in. It was very nice that they offered use of the resort facilities after checkout as that was 10 am. The pool is heated and one of the nicest we have seen in our travels. Plenty of restaurants and supermarkets within walking distance. We stayed 2 nights but I wish we had more time to stay longer. Maybe next time.

Second Stay

Have stayed here before, so that should speak volumes! Have previously stayed in B apartments, this time we stayed in C. These apartments are smaller and don't have such a good outlook, also the terrace is a lot smaller. I assume they are older. Plenty of parking and convenient for the airport.
