I had an amazing stay at this resort, with beautifully equipped apartments that felt luxurious. The views were spectacular, especially during sunset, and the beach was just a few steps away. However, I did face some challenges with air conditioning in one of the bedrooms, and it would have been nice to have an additional key for my family. Overall, it was a fantastic place to unwind and relax.

I had an unforgettable stay at the hotel, with breathtaking beach views and luxurious apartment amenities that made my experience truly special. The heated pool was a highlight, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure we felt right at home. However, we did find the noise from the pathway next to our balcony a bit disruptive, and it would have been nice to have a bit more privacy in the room. Overall, it was a fantastic getaway, and I can definitely see myself returning.

Armana offers an exceptional experience with breathtaking waterfront views and luxurious amenities. The rooms are spacious and well-furnished, making the stay cozy and enjoyable. The pool area is stunning and adds to the overall relaxation vibe. However, while the location is beautiful, noise levels can sometimes be an issue, especially from the nearby pathways and pool area.

Our stay at the resort was unforgettable, thanks to the stunning water views and the spacious, modern apartment. The pool area was fantastic, perfect for relaxation, but the noise from the nearby pool and balcony made it challenging to enjoy complete privacy. Additionally, the attic room was lovely but lacked proper air conditioning, which made it tough to sleep comfortably. Overall, the accommodation was luxurious and a great value for a relaxing getaway.
