“Sh Dolce Vita emphasizes family fun with its mini aqua park and all-inclusive dining, making it a strong option in Golden Sands. I noted the shuttle service to a private beach area, though some found the beach access a 17-minute walk; it's a trade-off for the hotel's lively entertainment and dedicated kids' activities. With a full-service spa alongside those active features, the hotel clearly aims to balance relaxation and recreation.”
