We had a pleasant stay at this resort with plenty of great amenities. The room was spacious and offered an amazing view, but the mattress was quite uncomfortable. The staff was attentive and professional, though there was an issue with the sauna that took some time to resolve. Overall, the location is fantastic and there are plenty of activities available, making it a good value for families.

I booked a family holiday expecting a superior room, but was disappointed with the outdated and unkempt conditions of the apartment. The stunning ocean view was a definite plus, but the overall cleanliness and maintenance left much to be desired. Despite this, the friendly staff and beautiful view made the experience somewhat redeemable.

We had an incredible stay at Mandolin, where the management and staff made us feel genuinely cared for. The location is fantastic with easy access to nearby restaurants and the beach. While our apartment was spacious and clean, we did encounter some minor issues with hot water and bedding that could have been better. Overall, the hospitality was outstanding, offering good value for money, especially with their welcoming touches.

I had an incredible stay at the Mandolin resort! The location is unbeatable, right across from the beach with amazing views. The staff was top-notch and really made my experience enjoyable. The facilities, especially the large heated pool and spa, were fantastic. On the downside, the bed in my apartment was quite uncomfortable, which affected my sleep quality.
