I had a wonderful experience at this hotel, with immaculate cleanliness, great staff, and a relaxing atmosphere. The pool area was fantastic, and the swim-up rooms were a unique feature. However, the dining options fell short of expectations, particularly in terms of quality and variety at the buffet. Additionally, the check-in process could be improved as it was rather slow.

I had a relaxing stay at this hotel, greatly enjoying the tranquil pool area and attentive bar staff, particularly Manos, who really elevated the experience. The food at breakfast and lunch was generally delicious and fresh, though dinner occasionally left something to be desired with some dishes being lukewarm or overcooked. The hotel's location isn't the best, surrounded by other hotels and tourist shops, but renting a car helped me explore some stunning beaches nearby.

I recently enjoyed a serene stay at the Insula Alba Hotel, where the atmosphere was incredibly relaxing with plenty of comfortable loungers by the pool. The room I had was beautifully clean and spacious, which made my experience all the more pleasant. The dining options were fantastic with a lot of variety, although the drink prices seemed a bit steep. All in all, it was a wonderful getaway, but be prepared for higher costs on beverages.
