Came here with my best friend for a relaxing get away and that's exactly what we had. Decided to upgrade on arrival and this was done with ease giving us extra facilities and access to the adult only pool area which is stunning. The bar waitress in this area, Fini, is a star. So happy and polite. The rooms are nice with a balcony view over a small pool area. We chose to come self-catering as we like to eat out so can't really comment on the food. All the staff here were lovely. We hired a car for the week so had no issues getting to the sea front and marina which is definitely worth a visit. I'd definitely recommend here and we will be back later this year.

When our kids asked to go diving while on vacation, my wife and I were a bit apprehensive since we have next to no experience. I must say our experience with Dawn Dives from the very beginning alleviated all of our concerns. Every dealing with the company was positive and professional. Our children took part in the Discover SCUBA Diving course and had so much fun we decided to have the take the Jr SCUBA Diver course two days later. Can't say enough positive things about the experience. Staff was very knowledgeable, kid friendly, safety minded. and FUN! We made some great friends at Dawn Dives.
