4 Frustrating

The cuisine was decent, although the wait for sandwiches was quite lengthy, and the menu did not match what was previously viewed. The sea was rather unclean and teeming with jellyfish, which was quite disappointing.

To begin with, I must mention that the wait for my sandwich was excruciatingly long. However, when it finally arrived, I was disappointed to find that instead of the chicken sandwich I had ordered, I was served one with spinach. The fries were also disappointingly soft. Moreover, the beach was not very clean and the prices were quite steep. In light of these factors, I cannot recommend this place.

The beach is an absolutely stunning location with a welcoming atmosphere and exceptional cuisine. The pizza in particular is a standout dish that I highly recommend. The staff, especially Francesco, were both professional and entertaining, making for a memorable experience. I cannot wait to return to this incredible spot.

The beach was a picturesque paradise with crystal clear waters and soft, powdery sand that stretched for miles. The gentle ocean breeze carried the sweet scent of saltwater and the sound of seagulls echoed in the distance. It was the perfect place to unwind and soak up the sun's warm rays. However, the only downside was the lack of shade, leaving one feeling slightly exposed to the sun's intense rays. Despite this, the beach was still a breathtaking sight to behold and a must-visit destination for any beach lover.
