I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was decent, a short walk to the beach and local restaurants, but the service left much to be desired. The pool area was enjoyable and the beach was clean, but I found the overall atmosphere somewhat lacking, especially with the staff's attitude and music choices. Overall, it has potential but needs significant improvements.

Rooms

The room we were assigned had a nice view but was very cramped and wasn't as clean as I hoped. The corridor had a strong smell of mold, which was quite off-putting.

While some of the bar staff were friendly, the reception service was disappointing and inconsistent. It felt like the staff were poorly trained.

The hotel is located a bit out of the main hustle of the town, which I appreciated. It took about a 20-minute walk to reach the city center, and being near the beach was a plus.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The huge structure boasted straightforward beach access and a lovely sea view from my room, which I appreciated. However, the overall atmosphere felt a bit lacking in charm, and the dining experience was underwhelming with a limited breakfast selection and average coffee. The staff was well-meaning but not very helpful during check-in, and parking was quite a hassle.

Overall, my experience at this hotel was a mixed bag. The location was decent, with a partial sea view and access to a beach that was nice despite the crowded atmosphere. However, the drawbacks included a confusing layout, inadequate dining service, and noisy environments, especially around the pool area. While the staff tried to be helpful, I found the rules and restrictions a bit off-putting, making it hard to fully enjoy my stay.

The hotel has a beautiful location with a lovely private beach and well-maintained gardens, making it visually appealing. However, the accommodations and facilities did not meet 5-star standards, with issues such as street noise and limited access to amenities. While the food at the restaurant was enjoyable, some aspects like room maintenance and service left much to be desired.

My stay at this hotel was quite disappointing. While the breakfast buffet was excellent, everything else fell flat, from the unhelpful staff to various maintenance issues in the room. The hotel's layout was confusing, making it difficult to navigate. Although the view from my room was nice, it didn't make up for the inconveniences I faced during my stay.
