The location is fantastic for a beach getaway, with amazing views from the hotel. It's clean and comfortable, though I found the lack of shops and bars within walking distance a bit of a downside. a taxi is needed for any excursions beyond the hotel.

Canelands Beach Club offers stunning views and a relaxing atmosphere, especially from the sea view rooms with large balconies. However, my overall experience was marred by noise issues from both the restaurant and the kitchen, which disrupted my sleep during the night. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, making me feel welcome throughout my stay. While the dining options were inconsistent, the spa treatment was a highlight. ⚠️🌊
