I really enjoyed my stay at Helena Sands overall, but there were definitely some drawbacks. The food was varied and consistently good, which made meal times a highlight. However, I found the pool area lacking in service, and it was tough to secure sun loungers. Also, while my room was spacious and had a lovely sea view, some areas of the hotel felt a bit outdated.
