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
5.0
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.
Service
5.0
While some of the bar staff were friendly, the reception service was disappointing and inconsistent. It felt like the staff were poorly trained.
Location
7.0
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.
Dining
5.0
Dining options were very limited, with only an overpriced restaurant on-site. We didn't dine there but the prices were higher compared to other local spots.
Facilities

The pool area was spacious and enjoyable, although the cleanliness was sometimes a concern. The rooftop pool looked appealing but came with a hefty entrance fee.

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.

Rooms

The service was hit or miss; while the staff tried to be accommodating, they often seemed preoccupied and not very attentive.
Location

The hotel is situated along a stretch of beach surrounded by other hotels, which might make it feel a bit generic. Still, it's conveniently located near local attractions.
Dining

The breakfast buffet offered variety, but it was a bit lackluster with mostly white bread and average coffee, which left much to be desired.

The hotel has potential with its access to a beach and pools, but the complicated layout and lack of outdoor parking were disappointing.

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.

Rooms

The staff were willing to assist, but the experience was marred by unclear rules about dining, such as the restriction on payments to room service. Overall, the help was there, but far from perfect.

The hotel is situated not too far from the city but still distanced from the main crowds, offering a mixed experience of peace and activity.

The breakfast buffet had a decent selection, but I faced issues with service on several occasions. The breakfast area was also quite crowded and loud, making it less enjoyable.

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.

Rooms

We stayed in one of the villas, and while it was clean, it was noisy due to street and bar music. The quality was not up to 5-star resort standards.
Service

The staff was polite and helpful, but the service at times felt lacking, especially when it came to responsiveness and providing necessary amenities.
Location

The food at the beach restaurant was fresh and good, although the breakfast buffet was just okay and not included in our room charge.

The spa services were only available on weekends and access to the rooftop terrace required an extra fee, which felt disappointing.

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.

Rooms

The room was tiny and poorly maintained, with several issues, including a broken door lock and an unpleasant odor.
