Restaurant gets mixed reviews
This 179-room mid-range hotel is located on a cliff in the lush green mountains, with views of the spectacular blue water. Rooms are charming but somewhat outdated, and all have balconies -- some even have small private pools. The pool and sun terrace are the main draws, but guests can also partake in playing basketball, bocce, or shopping at one of the on-site gift shops. The restaurant offers buffet-style meals and the hotel bar has seating on a large terrace where guests can take in the scenery. All-inclusive packages are available, though past guests give the food mixed reviews for quality and choice.

Features
Swimming pool, sports facilities, and several gift shops
The hotel has plenty to keep guests busy. The main pool is a unique, curved shape and located on the sun terrace, where there are plenty of lounge chairs to relax and take in the gorgeous view. A second pool bar has the same views and lounge chairs. There is also a sectioned-off kiddy pool, whirlpool, and casual pool bar by each pool. Guests can indulge in their competitive side on the combined basketball court/soccer field, bocce court, or game room. There are also several gift shops, including a Swarovski store. The hotel restaurant offers buffet-style meals in a formal setting, though it gets mixed reviews. Guests can also grab a drink at the hotel bar, which has indoor and outdoor seating, with fantastic views -- although some tables are near the parking lot. Free Wi-Fi and parking are nice touches.
