I had a pretty nice time at the Helios Hotel overall. The atmosphere was lively, and there was tons of entertainment for both kids and adults. The food was diverse and tasty, although I found the reception staff's limited English a bit challenging at times. The beach wasn't too far away, but you do have to walk a bit to get there.

I had a wonderful experience at Helios Hotel. The pool was a highlight, with the perfect temperature and fun activities thanks to the friendly animators. The food was diverse and quite tasty, especially the cakes! However, the communication barrier at the reception was a bit frustrating due to limited English skills. Though the beach isn't super close, it's within a reasonable walking distance.
